They are alive to every danger, any hint of food and any threat from another Robin in their territory.
They are also supremely cute:

They’re perfect posers on branches and glorious with autumn berries.

They are so elegant and well balanced.

This small spot in the forest sounds just like a Paris catwalk with shutters firing like machine guns. It’s the latest fashion.
