Description
This robin may not sing a song in the wintertime, but it can still communicate. Robins talk to
each other through songs, calls and alerts. During mating season each male sings a slightly
different song to attract a female. A robin's song will also vary in length and speed depending
on the time of day. A soft Squee or Tsip sound announces movement or flight. A louder
Peak or Tut, or Whinny call is an alert for predators or sometimes an aggressive exchange
between male robins. They often forage for food in large flocks so that sentinel robins can call
out a loud and extraordinarily high-pitched whistle alarm to warn others of aerial predators such as hawks.
