💡 Fun Facts

  • A robin's eggshell has thousands of tiny pores (holes) to let oxygen in for the growing chick to breathe.
  • A baby robin is incredibly hungry. Both parents work together to feed it, bringing it up to 100 meals a day.
  • A fledgling is a young bird that has grown its flight feathers and is learning to fly, but is still being fed by its parents.
