American Robin

American Robin

Member of the Thrush Family (unfortunate scientific name: Turdidae)

West Palm Beach, Florida, USA

*true bird fact*~ The American Robin is ever-present in our culture, and is one of the most widely spread and easily recognized land birds. He symbolizes the start of spring, mostly because he is one of the birds who lays his eggs earliest in the year. Furthermore, he has one of the most distinctive and well known bird songs, and his eggs are famously blue in color. The robin is super boring.

Pleasant enough

Is a blank slate that you can kind of project the qualities you want him to have onto him, which is sort of unhealthy, actually

Not troubled by 'the big questions' of life

Encountering one will lead to good luck in your upcoming romantic endeavors, but nobody's sure why

*true owl fact*~ Owls have asymetrically placed ears. This allows them to have a greater degree of accuracy when detecting where sounds are coming from. Helpful when hunting small things at night, I'm sure.

*true bird fact that is actually relevant to this specific bird*~ The Barn Owl has an astounding range, spanning six continents, 44 million square kilometers. Your amateurnithologist wants to say that this makes it the most widely spread owl, but you never know with this kind of thing. Additionally, the Barn Owl has a reputation all over the world as a bird with a connection to the spirit world. In some places he is called the Devil Owl, Death Owl, Demon Owl, or Hobgoblin Owl.
