The animal on the cover of Tidy Modeling with R is a European robin (Erithacus rubecula), native to continental Europe, the United Kingdom, western Russia, and northern Africa.
European robins are grey and brown, with a signature orange chest and white stomach. Males and females look similar, with the primary differentiator being the shape of the beak. They live around forests, plants, or trees. They don’t necessarily migrate significant distances for winter (except for those living further north in Scandinavia and Russia), but females will move short distances away from males, who maintain the same territories in both winter and summer.
European robins typically begin breeding in March and will lay several clutches of 4 to 6 eggs each with an incubation period of 13 to 14 days. The clutches can overlap to a certain extent, with the male feeding the newborns while the female sits on the next clutch. The male bonds with the female by bringing her food, which can look like a mother feeding her young to an untrained observer. Their diet consists of insects, seeds, nuts, and fruits.
European robins have a very high mortality rate in the first year of life. After that, their life expectancy significantly increases. Ten percent of deaths after the first year are a result of fights between robins, as the males are very aggressive and protective of their territories. The orange chest gradually manifests itself in young robins; the initial lack of orange coloring reduces the chances of a fight over territory in their first year, when their chances of death are already so high.
Since 1960, the European robin has been the national bird of Britain, but it is less popular in other parts of Europe. They are a popular symbol of Christmas because Victorian mailmen were known as “redbreasts” due to their uniforms. The American robin is named for its similarity in appearance to the European robin, but they are not actually closely related.
