This robin kept interrupting my reading but I'm not even mad
@ASleepyWanderer Whoa your robins look a lot different than ours in North America.
@rombat @ASleepyWanderer Saved me from saying the same thing. The bird in the photo looks like a completely different family. I wonder what it is.
@shuttersparks @rombat from what I read online this is a remnant of colonialism. When the British saw American robins, it reminded them of European robins, hence the name:)
@ASleepyWanderer @shuttersparks I went and looked it up before replying that I didn’t think your pic was a robin (what a concept!) and found the same thing. “Hey that’s got a red breast let’s just call it the same.”
@rombat @ASleepyWanderer Yes. I'm a birdwatcher here in the U.S. and Central America. American Robins are fairly common here in West Virginia, and now I know why they're called American Robins. 😂
