Monotonous series of chirping 'cheep' and 'chirrup' notes. Male gives 'chilp' song repeatedly. Flocks produce constant chirping chatter. No melodic song; purely functional calls.

About These Birds

European Robin

유럽울새는 영국에서 가장 사랑받는 새 중 하나로 국민 새로 선정되었다. 주황-붉은 가슴으로 유명하며 정원사 곁을 잘 따르는 것으로 알려져 있다. 영역 방어가 강해 동성 간 싸움도 치열하다.

House Sparrow
