Well, easter friday. So today you shall have that ever brave and ever stupid creature of creation, the Robin.

What can you say about the robin that hasn’t been said?
Except that there seem to be a few taken up residence in the Temperate House. Or one. I can’t tell.

Wow, your robins are different than ours too. Our robins are red just on the belly — the entire belly from neck to tail.

The english Robin and the American Robin are two different species, yanno. :D Yours look significantly less… pudgy.
Ours sometimes resemble tennis balls with wings, tail, and head.

Well, yeah, I figured they’re different species if they look that different and live on different continents. ;) I’ll have to see if I can grab a photo of one. They’re all of Central Park this time of year, but I don’t know whether Queens has any.
