Perhaps due to humans' envy of birds' gift of flight, they have a special obsession with them, and it is not an overstatement to call them a favorite. So, why do the British love the Eurasian robin so much?
As a capitalist power, Britain had the broadest range of colonies, passing on its love of Eurasian robins to the rest of the world. The most common place to see Eurasian robins is on greeting cards that Western families send to each other every year, which feature pictures of Eurasian robins.
The Eurasian robin is highly regarded in the UK and can be found almost everywhere, with many stories passed down about it. Anyone who has seen a Eurasian robin will know that it has coffee-colored reddish feathers on its chest.
The Eurasian robin has a body length of about 14 cm, a wingspan of 20 cm, a weight of 20 grams, and a relatively long lifespan of about 15 years. The red-brown feathers on its chest are the most conspicuous part of its identification.
The Eurasian robin does not have red-brown feathers when it is young, and they do not grow until it changes its feathers. In addition, the Eurasian robin's call is also very distinctive and can be heard year-round. The Eurasian robin's ability to survive is more attractive than these external characteristics.
Once living deep in the forest, the Eurasian robin has managed to find a home in the city after trees were cut down. The birds can often be found in people's backyards, watching as they turn over the soil and waiting for them to turn up earthworms and other insects.
In the wild, Eurasian robins usually use hay and branches to build their nests among tree branches, while those in towns look for people's discarded water bottles and shelves of buildings to build their nests. Once the construction is complete, the Eurasian Robin family moves into their small home and nurtures their babies.
After the eggs hatch, the male is responsible for caring for the babies while the female is out foraging and feeding the young.
This happy family is seen as a symbol of family happiness and love in Western folklore, and there are even nursery rhymes about the Eurasian robin. In British culture, the Eurasian robin is almost equivalent to home, and when seen, one cannot help but think of home.
The eggs of the Eurasian robin are also very beautiful, a beautiful blue color. When placed in the nest, they are as dazzling as jewels. This beautiful bird was once in crisis, but fortunately, the awareness of conservation gradually changed, so that the number of Eurasian robins stabilized.
