About the Robins


O.k. something that I was thinking about today. I was working on the new issue of the children magazine and was collecting interesting facts about the Robins ( the birds ). One information took my attention. It says: "When the female robins choose their mates, they normally base their preference on the males’ songs, plumage and territory quality" :)  
The way how the Robins live and organize their life is very interesting and the more I read it I like it even more. I was wondering (just wondering) if God put some principles or example in there for human relationship.
First it says that the female is choosing the male. I think lately is more like that with humans. Girls know exactly and faster what they want and guys...they need time. 1. So the female Robins base their preference on the males song that with humans can be the way guys talk- communicational part; 2. then on their plumage (Plumage refers both to the layer of feathers that cover a bird and the pattern, color, and arrangement of those feathers) and with the guys that will be the look, appearance; 3. and territory quality- I guess this will be the surrounding, where he lives.
Among other things about Robins is after they choose their mates they start building their nest. The female and male are gathering the material together but the female is the one that choose the place  for the nest and she is the one who is making and "decorating" the nest. After that they lay wonderful blue eggs. The blue eggs of robins are the prettiest eggs known. The female  sits on the nest while the male guards the area.  Once in awhile the male will sit on the nest to give the female a break. The males Robins are gathering in group and the females are not joining them until they are not done with laying of the eggs.
They like to travel to warmer places so they move around. In the new place first is the males who arrive and after some days the female....
I just find all of this behavior interesting...And now you have learn something about the Robins:) I hope you liked it!
