According to Birds and Bloom magazine site, there are Birds of the Month.

“You’ve probably heard of birth month gemstones and birth month flowers, but have you heard of birth month birds? It might come as a surprise to learn every month of the year has not only a representative jewel and flower, but also a bird. From owls to ravens, here are the birds that represent everyone’s birthdays.”

March: Robin

Fans of warm weather, brightly colored flowers and returning migrating birds adore the American robin. After all, many view it as the first sign of spring. To identify the March birth month bird, look for a medium-sized songbird with a red breast, gray upperparts and a yellow beak. Their sweet cheerily, cheer-up, cheerio song rings out on spring mornings.

“My husband and I were walking through the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden in Greensboro, North Carolina, in June. I saw this little birdbath with what I thought was a fake bird… but then I heard it singing! I love the colors of this American robin, and I absolutely love photographing these beautiful birds!” says Teri Quintal.

Psst–if you see a robin bird, here’s what it means.

  1. When I was a boy I was taught that robins ate lots of earthworms. Sometimes I saw robins do that. Also I was taught that “the early bird gets the worm” — and thus I should not sleep late (or stay up late, reading, because I would then want to sleep late the next day). But I am a “night-owl” (and I like to read after others have gone to sleep). Then I learned that getting up early may be good for robins (because “the early bird gets the worm”), but what happens to the early worm? Maybe getting up early isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
