Warlike sex, likes to be active in woodlands, shrubs, forests, parks and gardens. The call is like a flute, and it screams from morning to evening, even at night during the breeding season. It mainly preys on insects and also pecks on fruits. The British love the red-breasted robin very much, and they especially worship the male red-breasted robin's instinct to inspect and defend the territory it has established, calling it the "bird of God." In 1960, he was elected as the national bird in the United Kingdom through a referendum.
