A medium-large robin, the Hooded Robin has a rather short, slender bill and a moderately long and square-tipped tail, and is usually seen singly, in twos or, occasionally, in small family parties or co-operatively breeding groups. The species is rather quiet and shy. Robins are often seen perched on low, exposed sites, such as dead branches, tree stumps, fence posts or tree-trunks, searching for prey. They forage by pouncing from a low vantage point onto prey on the ground, and then returning to the perch. More
