Selected by a public ballot, the robin was officially declared Britain’s national bird in 1960. In the Victorian era, postmen wore red tunics and were nicknamed ‘robin redbreasts’. This led to the depiction of a robin delivering an envelope on a Christmas card, and robins have been associated with Christmas ever since.
Both males and females are surprisingly aggressive; they will fight viciously over territory and even scrap with their own reflection, mistaking it for another robin! Many superstitions portray the robin as a kindly bird, however, and it was thought to be unlucky to kill one. If you did so, your hands would never stop shaking, while anyone who broke a robin’s eggs would have something valuable of their own broken.
