What does ROBIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small songbird with a reddish-orange breast, such as the European robin or the larger American robin.
The name robin covers several unrelated birds that share a similarly colored breast, most notably the small European robin, a garden favorite known for its bold, reddish front, and the larger American robin, a type of thrush common across North America. Both birds are closely tied to popular culture, appearing on winter greeting cards in Europe and regarded as an early sign of spring in North America. Ornithologists note that the two robins are not close relatives despite sharing a common name and coloring, since early settlers simply reused a familiar name for an unfamiliar bird they resembled. The word robin can also describe several other red-breasted birds found in Australia and Asia.
