Hi Vladimir.. Nan is right, no doubt. We just call them "Robin" here. Robins are the most common garden bird... they love worms and slugs, and strawberries of course. They work really hard to keep the slugs off the berries... and then they eat the berries.

Here's another one, we call the "Flicker". It's a type of woodpecker, so really a forest bird, that eats insects in the trees. But this fellow was very busy in the grass. I've never seen a bird with so many different patterns in its plumage. They also have a few yellow feathers in the tail. They like to drum on a metal chimney pot early in the morning to call to others far away.. the sound inside the house is really loud.
