AmTiquing Trivia: Robin
Arm and Hammer and Cow Brand baking sodas trade card: Robin The one bird known by everyone. His friendliness to man has in turn won him man's friendship. His markedly cheerful song, heard most frequently at dawn and dusk, is one of spring's earliest signs. He usually nests near human habitations, in trees of orchard, lawn and thin woodland. His building materials are of a wide variety, including grasses, roots, leaves, string and paper for the outside, and an inner wall of mud lined with fine grasses. Eggs are bluish-green and three to five in number. Man need not begrudge him the small amount of fruit he eats, for that damage is abundantly offset by the large number of insects and worms which he destroys. His range is North America, from the treeline to the Mexican tableland. The ClassyArts Digital Image Collection
