Did you know that American Robins aren’t even robins? They got their name from the European Robin, who also had the brick-red breast and showed similarities to that bird.
The American “Robin” is actually just a thrush, the family Turdidae. It’s Latin name is Turdus migratorius and it means migrating thrush.
If you want more bird facts just comment back. I have collected a lot of cool information that I have memorized over the years.
