@IceNine I don't know why but a lot of animals love to sit on my shoe when I'm sitting cross-legged like that! Sometimes I'll look up from a book and see a squirrel on my shoe lol
@shuttersparks@rombat from what I read online this is a remnant of colonialism. When the British saw American robins, it reminded them of European robins, hence the name:)
@ASleepyWanderer@shuttersparks I went and looked it up before replying that I didn’t think your pic was a robin (what a concept!) and found the same thing. “Hey that’s got a red breast let’s just call it the same.”
@rombat@ASleepyWanderer Yes. I'm a birdwatcher here in the U.S. and Central America. American Robins are fairly common here in West Virginia, and now I know why they're called American Robins. 😂
