The continental European robins that migrate during winter prefer spruce woods in northern Europe, contrasting with its preference for parks and gardens in Great Britain. [29] In southern Iberia, habitat segregation of resident and migrant robins occurs, with resident robins remaining in the same woodlands where they bred. [30]
[37] [38] 28 raptorial bird species hunt American robins. [39] [40] Adult robins are most vulnerable while breeding activities, whereas feeding flocks are vigilant for predators. [16] The American robin rejects cowbird eggs, so brood parasitism by the brown-headed cowbird is rare, and the parasite's chick does not often survive to fledging. [41]
Many are among the longest-distance migrants; sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus nesting on the Falkland Islands migrate 14,000 km (7,600 nmi) between the breeding colony and the North Atlantic Ocean off Norway. Some Manx shearwaters Puffinus puffinus do this same journey in reverse. As they are long-lived birds, they may cover enormous ...

It is a mainly resident breeder in eastern and southern Africa, though some adults and juveniles may migrate more than 100 km [15] to lower, warmer regions in winter. [3] In their winter refuges, they may coexist with several other species of robin. [7] Some are however year-round residents even at high altitudes. [7]
Like the other two red-breasted Petroica robins—the scarlet robin and the red-capped robin—it is often simply called the robin redbreast. Like many brightly coloured robins of the Petroicidae, it is sexually dimorphic. Measuring 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) long, the flame robin has dark brown eyes and a small thin black bill.
