The American robin is a migratory bird and can be found throughout North America. They are the most abundant land bird in North America.
The species is active mostly during the day. Its diet consists of beetle grubs, earthworms, caterpillars, fruits and berries. It is one of the earliest bird species to lay its eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. The robin's nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the earliest birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
The adult's main predator is the domestic cat, hawks and snakes
