Robin (Erithacus rubecula) We didn’t want this robin card to be all ‘snow, holly and ivy’ because the robin is seen all year round. Also known as the ‘Robin redbreast’, male and female robins are very similar, but juveniles lack the red breast and are a mottled brown.

Robins are one of the UK’s most popular birds, despite being notoriously aggressive to each other. We gardeners consider them ‘friendly’ when actually they are being extremely territorial, making sure they are first to the worms and insects we dig up.

Robins also like to eat slugs, snails, spiders, fruit, berries and seeds, so will happily visit your bird table.

Robins like to make their cup-shaped nests in a protected environment like a hedge or tree hole or even odd things people have left lying about, like canvas bags or plant pots. They lay between 4-6 eggs.

Robins are to be seen widely throughout our gardens/woodlands/ meadows/heaths and hedgerows

The first postmen wore bright red waistcoats, and were popularly known as 'Robins'; this may explain not only why robins are often featured on Christmas cards, and are associated with Christmas in general, but also why they are frequently depicted holding a letter in their beak!

Why not select this robin card for your personalised Christmas cards? We can add crisp white inserts with your specified text in your chosen font. Teamed with quality envelopes of your choice (we would offer a selection,) they would look fabulous. We will always offer a quantity discount when greater numbers of a single card are ordered.

This Robin greeting card image can also be found on our key rings and fridge magnets.
