'We feel kinda bad when a solo bird shows up': Canada sees its first European robin – but how did it get there?

So the European robin shows up in Montréal? That's wild . I mean, we can't even blame climate change on this one (as much), but at the same time, it's hard not to think that our planet is getting more connected, right? It's like the bird just hitched a ride or got swept away by some crazy storm.

But for real though, how do we even know if this is a young adult or an old one? And what does it say about our ecosystem that we're seeing birds from Europe popping up in North America again? It's not like we haven't heard of these sightings before, but now that it's actually happening... who knows?

One thing's for sure: I'd love to see some more research on this. Are there any experts studying bird migration patterns and stuff? We should probably get a team on that ASAP

So I'm reading about this super rare bird that just showed up in Montreal and everyone's freaking out I mean, I get why - birds aren't supposed to be here, thousands of miles from their normal habitat... it's like, what even is going on? Climate change, maybe? Some experts say maybe it's not just about the weather but also about how we're messing with bird migration patterns and habitats. It's a bit concerning, tbh. On the one hand, it's awesome that people are getting excited about nature again... but on the other hand, we need to be thinking critically about what this means for our planet

omg I'm so glad someone finally spotted that european robin in montréal!!! I've been following this thread and I have to say I'm kinda surprised by how much people are going on about it like, I get it, birds are cool and all but...I mean, isn't it just a bird that wandered into the wrong continent? idk maybe I'm just missing out or something, but can we talk about this in like 5 days or something instead of now?
