Many of our garden birds, which seem so tame and happy in our gardens, are actually dispossessed woodland birds. Take the robin, i.e. Robins originally lived on woodland edges and, as woodlands diminished and hedgerows increased, they adapted to the change very successfully. In woodlands, communication between birds was by song because they couldn’t see each other on account of all the trees and cover in the way and robins still sing, although they are wholly adapted to gardens now. Robins are unusual among songbirds in that both the male and female sing. (In most other bird species it is the male that does the singing.) Althoough, to be quite accurate, the female robin sings and holds territory only in the winter. She is more docile and quiet during the breeding season, as silence in the price she has to pay to get a mate. The male wouldn’t like a female who sings! We can start off the robin’s story in winter. At this time, the robin visits the bird table – the shortage of food overcomes any xenophobic tendencies. But come spring and the lengthening day, the say rises in the treees and the male robin’s thoughts turn to love. But first there must be some land to make a good impression on the intended. Where else but your nice suburbaan garden? So he stakes his claim and perches on the trees and bushes along the perimeter and advertises his eligibility with whaat is, to us, the most melodious song. The song also indicates to other male robins looking for territory the character and, indeed, the bottle of the singer. If another male robin thinks that he can take the singer on, he approaches. Our sittting tenant is outraged. He rushes towards the visitor with his body language screaming aggression. This however, may not be enough to deter the intruder, the actual hand-to-hand (or claw-to-claw) combat may take place. Robins have been known to kill would-be land-grabbers. The intruder dealt with, our hero resumes his song. Another robin appears. This time it is a female, checking out the local talent, having been mightily impressed with the song. But – would you believe it? – our hero doesn’t know that she is female (both sexes look the same) and he rushes over again, full of aggro, to see off the intrruder. Fortunately for the survival of the robin species, female robins know what sex they are and act accordingly. Instead of squaring up to the opera singer, she is suitably demure and submissive and puts your man completely off his stroke. She is tolerated in the furthest extremity of his territory. It is not long, though, until one thing leads to another and soon he is enthusiastically showing her around the most desirable buildong sites on his property and feeding her choice titbits. She gets a good idea of what sort of husband he’ll be, how good he’ll be at finding food for a famly and how sharp his eye is at spotting a secure nesting site. Once planning permission has been given, he’s off helping with the collection of nest material from which she constructs a nest and fashions it to her body shape. And, of course, he is a very vigorous lover. Frequency of mating can range from once a day to twic an hour around the time of egg formation – he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk!
