Turdus migratorius.
American robin, male
Turdus
I thought you were shitting me
well today i learned that someone named the robin after taking a dump....
Have you tried asking how the bird sexually identifies? It would be wrong to just assume.
There are too many bigots here. I'm going back to reddit. F this place. That poor bird. I'm literally shaking.
Male. Based on the color, it doesn't seem as washed out as a female.
Awesome. Thanks! I wasn't sure since there's a little white at the bottom of the feathers which always confused me.
It's gender neutral faggot. Get with the progressive program already.
I'm not feeding this faggot anymore mealworms if he tries to pull that shit with me.
Male.
Is this bird able to fly? If so, why are you keeping it?
My very elderly dog almost ate him one night on a walk. He was curled up against my front door. I didn't know where to put him since my nextdoor neighbors have a cat that wanders, so I took him inside for a few weeks to learn how to fly better so he didn't get eaten.
Unfortunately a string got wrapped around his leg by accident and then I kept him a bit longer while that healed, but the cold weather moved in. I was too scared to let him go since I wasn't seeing other birds he'd be able to go to.
I let him hang out around my house. I'll see if he would be interested in finding a nice spot in the back yard next spring, but I also don't mind if he prefers to stay.
I had two baby squirrels as pets when I was a kid and when we let them go they would always come hang out and eat nuts with us. I'd love to have a bird friends next season like that.
My grandma saves everything from raccoons to turkeys. Just like your story, they always hang around the general area and come back for food, long after she's released them again.
She also leaves an old chicken coop partially open for some critters to sleep in. Most would say she's crazy and attracting nuisance animals. They're not entirely wrong. But it's a lot better than bringing in refugee 'pets' like the modern woke woman.
Lol. There’s nothing wrong with liking animals.
Ever since I was a child I had a connection with them and liked animals more than most humans. One strong memory I have is whispering to a horse and it tucked it's head into me so it could listen and get some pets while I spoke. Everyone freaked out since he had been abused and was very untrusting of humans. He hardly let anyone touch him or come near and I had no idea. It was the only time anyone saw him tuck his head right under a stranger's arm so I could put my mouth near his ear while I talked.
I've never really tried with things like raccoons since those are rather nasty in my area. That would probably be dangerous for my dog.
I'm gonna say it's a boy because of the markings.
You should name it BB Gun, or maybe Red Rider.
I was expecting to see the newest Batman side kick from the newest Batman movie/show/game, transgendered to the max.
Lmfao. Oh God no. He's a literal robin.
That’s a beautiful bird. Is it wild or did you hand raise it? I’m assuming wild?
(Edit. I read your response to another. Cool!)
Yeah. I'm too scared to release him into the cold alone!
He really likes his one room. He gets very distressed when you go into another room and he wants to follow but is too scared to. So I have no idea if he'll like the outside world or want to fly right back inside the first few times I try to take him.
Just put him on your shoulder and walk around.
I love birds, he’s a beauty. Take good care of him.
Have you asked it what gender it identifies with?
