The American Robin is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits and berries. The adult robin is preyed upon by hawks, cats and larger snakes, but when feeding in flocks, it can be vigilant and watch other birds for reactions to predators.
Fun Fact It is named after the European Robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the flycatcher family.
