About These Birds
Andaman Shama
The Andaman Shama is a forest-dwelling passerine of the Muscicapidae family, endemic to the Andaman Islands. It inhabits dense undergrowth and forest interiors, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates on or near the ground. Males are known for melodious song.
European Robin
The European robin is one of the most beloved birds in Britain, where it is the unofficial national bird. Despite its friendly demeanor toward humans, robins are fiercely territorial against their own kind, singing year-round to defend territory. Their distinctive song is one of the first to be heard at dawn.
