How to Speak Robin Robins are a common species that many people see, and they are very vocal making them good calls to learn Robin songs to me sound like they are asking a question and then answering their own question And this is used to defend territory and attract mates Because robins are ground feeders, they are very vigilant and aware of their surroundings If there is any cause for concern, they immediately send off their alarm call which is a series of loud chirps But we can learn even more from their body language If a robin sends off their alarm call and then jumps up into a tree and looks down, then the threat is below them, typically where they are looking If the robin dives down into the brush from above, then the threat is probably in the air, like a hawk or owl Birds are very observant and listening into their calls can reveal hidden critters #birdsong #birdcalls #ilovebirds #backyardbirds #backyardbirding #naturalist #songbirds #americanrobin #robinbird #birdlanguage #birdsong #birdsongs #naturefacts #natureeducation
