I have been checking out 'robins of Australia' on the internet recently and found scads of images of this little guy. You might not be able to tell by the drawing above, but the male pink robin, actually has a HOT PINK breast. I didn't have a hot pink pencil, so I used just regular old pink and a bit of red pencils instead. I'd love to visit Tasmania in order to see this bird up close and personal. I wonder if he's people-shy?
He is a honey isn't he? Not a bird I have ever seen for myself. And I would love to. I suspect that like most robins they are wary, but not frightened.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's a dear. I read that they are endemic to SE Australia. I would imagine a trip to Tasmania may be in order to have a gander at these lil' guys.
DeleteI used to go out with a girl called Robin who was similarly endowed.
ReplyDeleteHot pink breast? Yowza.
DeleteTo the touch...
DeleteMy god, what you could do with a tin of Prismacolors!
ReplyDeleteI need better pencils and, perhaps, a better sharpener. (Nevermind needing better skills.)
DeleteThey have weird critters in Australia.
ReplyDeleteAnd some so colorful!
DeleteRotkehlchen gibt es auch bei uns sie sind vorsichtig aber nicht scheu in der Regel.
ReplyDeleteIch finde es interessant, dass die Rotkehlchen in GB ziemlich 'menschenfreundlich', sozusagen, sind. Es ist vielleicht, weil sie immer Futter erwarten!
