2013 Canadian 25-Cent Birds of Canada #11: American Robin Coloured Coin

2013 Canadian 25-Cent Birds of Canada #11: American Robin Coloured Coin

The American Robin is North America’s largest thrush. The orange-breasted bird’s calls and songs are one of its most distinctive features. Males tend to be the more vocal of the species, singing from high atop trees early in the morning and as part of the American Robin’s elaborate courtship rituals. Although it originally inhabited primarily the forest clearings of North America, the American Robin has become one of the few species to have benefitted from urbanization. The growth of large swathes of open fields and lawn, accompanied by treed gardens and parks in residential areas, created habitat for the species, giving it easy access to its preferred diet of fruit, berries, worms and grubs. 

A beautiful gift for people who love birds, natural imagery, exquisite natural artwork and Canadian themes.
