@ShutterRatata great photo.#Robins (#Erithacus #rubecula, #Muscicapidae) are endearing to us, partly due to their short #flightdistance. Combined with their attractive #appearance, they evoke positive associations in us. Therefore, they e.g. play a role in #culturaltraditions (Christian legends).They have twice been #BirdoftheYear in Germany. In 1963, robins were the first animal, in which the presence of a #magneticsense (#orientation via Earth's #magneticfield) was proven. Text: S.F.Wirth
@mybirdpins but where’s Australia’s favourite, the Tawny Frogmouth, as voted in last year’s #Birdlife and Guardian #BirdOfTheYear poll? 🤷🏻♀️
I scored 6/6 (100%) on the Common Birds of Australia (6) quiz at Bird Brainer! https://birdbrainer.app/

Joanna HolmanWent down to my local Tawny Frogmouth hangout to congratulate them on their bird of the year win and was delighted to discover that since I dropped by last week they’ve had babies!
CoinOfNoteThe Australian Bird of the Year 2025 has been announced!
Congratulations to the Tawny Frogmouth! A beautiful bird and a well deserved winner.
There aren't many coins featuring the bird, one in fact - and it came out just this year - the 5c piece in the Aussie Bubs set from the Royal Australian Mint features a cartoonish representation of the bird. Pictured is the coin - courtesy https://en.numista.com/464491
And the bird, from the Guardian article where you can learn more about the contest and this year's short-listed birds: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2025/oct/16/australian-bird-of-the-year-2025-winner-announcement-live
