The '''European robin''' or the '''British robin''' ''(Erithacus rubecula)'' is a small [[bird]] found in many parts of [[Europe]]. In [[English language|English]], this bird is usually just called a '''robin'''. In [[Britain]], it is the most popular bird.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33090043 ''BBC News''. Robin tops poll to find UK's 'national bird']</ref><br />
<br />
The robin is an [[insectivore]]: it eats [[insect]]s.<ref name=Patzold95>{{in lang|de}} {{Cite book|title=Das Rotkehlchen ''Erithacus rubecula''. Neue Brehm-Bücherei |author=Pätzold R|year=1995 |publisher= Westarp Wissenschaften/Spektrum |location=Magdeburg/Heidelberg |isbn=3-89432-423-6}}</ref> It is a member of the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Passerine]] which makes it a perching bird. It has an orange-red breast and face, olive-brown wings and back, a white to light-brown belly. You can sometimes see a blue-grey fringe around the bottom part of the robin's red breast patch. European robins have brown legs and their tail is bluntly square. They have large, black eyes and a small black bill.<br />
<br />
Some migrate, and some are resident. In the breeding season the red chest of the male gets a bit redder, and they are very territorial. No other male robin is allowed near, and they even fight other birds that come too close. The [[American robin|American]] and Australian robins are not closely related to this, the original bird to be named ‘robin’.<br />
