Difference Between Robins
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), also known as the robin or robin redbreast, is part of the Old World Flycatcher family Muscicapidae and the genus Erithacus. They should not be confused with the American robin (Turdus migratorius), which belongs to the family Turdidae and is part of the genus Turdus which is part of the true thrushes species of birds. Some believe they are not related, while others believe the American bird is a subspecies of the robin.
There are a few key differences between both of these birds, most notably their location. One lives in North America while the other one lives in Europe. Read on to find out more:
