Robins are found across the UK in woodlands, gardens, parks and hedgerows. They are fiercely territorial singing to defend their territory all year round. Their red breast is actually used as a territory marker. They are united in all singing from the same song sheet.

One of the reasons they are depicted so frequently (in the UK) on Christmas cards is because, during the Victoria era, when the tradition of sending Christmas cards began, postmen (mailmen) wore red jackets, earning them the nickname 'robins.'
