American robin (Turdus migratorius [Here as Turdus minor]) This bird is common throughout North America, living in Woodland as well as in more built up areas. It tends to breed and nest in the more northern parts of its range, migrating south during the winter. As well as worms, it eats slugs, snails, insects and fruits, preferring to feed on the ground. It may reach around 25 centimetres in length. It is not a true robin but a member of the thrush family.
