We have many of these birds hanging around our place in Canada at the moment. It is now early spring (Mid-April) and they have migrated from the south to do there breeding. The first image you see is taken from a website and the second image, the one with the grass, is a photo i took from a bedroom window.
Taken from Wikipedia -
"The American Robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs and caterpillars), fruits and berries. It is one of the earliest bird species to lay eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. Its nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the first birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated."
