The robin produces a fluting, warbling song during breeding season. It has a distinctive and beautiful sounding call. The song is a series of chirp phrases, soft and clear sounds and of short trills ѕtoрріпɡ abruptly. It will sing to proclaim territory and attract a mate and usually sings all year round, although it is quieter in late summer when it moults.

The male brings her food as often as 3 times an hour.Both parents take responsibility when feeding and looking after their chicks until they are two weeks old when they can fly and become fully independent.
