Re: PESO European robin

[Toine]

Yes, robins defend their territory. In fact males and females both
defend their own territory. Killing each other over territory is rare
behavior for any species, except for Homo sapiens.

This robin is puffed because it's currently around freezing temperatures.

Unfortunately, Robins are not nice little birds.  The males fight to the death 
over territory and will also attack other birds smaller than themselves.  It's 
very apt that they have red chests.

I thought the red breast was because of the robin who pulled out its feathers,

Re: PESO Painted bird

I asked the local birding experts (which includes professionals).
Painting birds is not used for (temporary) marking.
A fresh painted pole or something similar must be the source.
