singing their cheerful happy songs, and feeding 

 on tiny insects. They build a very compact 

 nest in the lower branches of trees, where 

 the female bird lays three small eggs. Our 

 little Robins resemble very much in their 

 habits the European Robins, for they are very 

 friendly and will hop about the dwellings of 

 the people who live in the bush. In the 

 Spring time they flock about the gardens 

 and orchards of the farmers, without the least 

 fear.
