Robins are small insect-eating birds, with the males being brightly coloured and easily identified and the duller, brownish females sometimes rather difficult to distinguish.
None of them are primarily suburban garden birds, but are likely to occur in woodland or grassland fringes or when passing through gardens during seasonal migrations.
The Flame, Scarlet and Rose Robins are altitudinal migrants that move from the higher country to milder, lower altitudes in the winter. The Jacky Winter (17 records), Eastern Yellow
Robin and Hooded Robin are resident in the region but do not cope well in the suburban environment.
The Pink Robin (12) normally inhabits
cool wet rainforests, while the Red-capped Robin (4) is an uncommon visitor from the dry country. |
