Who's a Baby? Looking for Clues     The father is feeding berries to the young (juvenile) robin.     What clued us in? Read below! Male robins have dark black heads and bright orange breasts. They often have white stripes on their throats. Fathers usually feed the young while moms repair or build nests, or incubate a new clutch of eggs. Tail length: A young robin's tail is much shorter than a grownup's tail. How well do you think the young robin can fly? Why? The baby is fluttering its wings. This shows the parents just how hungry it is. It also helps build stronger wings for flying. Did you notice . . . that the father has squished the berry? Why? To break the waxy coating and make it easier for the young robin to digest the juice and pulp! << Back
