What To Write On A Bachelorette Card To A Firend

With the arrival of winter comes to visit in our beautiful land the robin (Erithacus rubecula), bird, small and round, instead spends her summers in northern Europe. His curiosity often seems to overcome the fear of humans, also because of the difficulty of finding food, small insects and grains - that pushes him towards the houses of men, more secure sources of food.

His belly close to the legs is a light brown while the wings and tail are dark brown; the sides of the neck and chest but has a nice almost blue-gray. The harness in adults is a beautiful bright red, which stands out more with the contrast of the white line that delineates the bottom edge. A second specimen, the time of year and also the incidence of red light can vary up to become a clear orange.

The harness is very important, especially for males, because it is the key signal that stimulates the approval of other conspecific individuals, and consequently the reaction time to the aggressive defense of its territory, despite the appearance of the helpless fighting among males may be robins very fiery!

Lack, an ethologist, demonstrated the operation of this mechanism with a simple experiment: put a stuffed robin, which had removed the red feathers in the territory of a male robin, who ignored him handsomely. Then he put in his place only the tuft of red feathers, which triggered a violent reaction in fighting robin 'landlord'.

is known for animals ethologists with their experiments may be of great pain in the ass!

One way to spot them from far away is their characteristic way of hopping around on the ground in search of food, even the jump from one branch to fly is very special - the robin flows with closed wings, like a dip in the beaten, and then open them only when he got enough speed.

not take advantage of the curiosity of young robins - do not make them evil, but let him even the crumbs on the windows if the snow would cover the fields! And remember also that their beauty lies in their freedom, as he told the English poet Blake in his poem Auguries of Innocence:

"A Robin Red breast in a Cage Puts all Heaven

in a Rage"

A robin in a cage infuriates the entire heaven!
