   feet dropped on the robin breast and ever since this little bird has a red patch on her breast. The blackbird. This bird builds her nest in a hawthorn tree she builds her nest out of moss and sticks and feathers and she lays blue eggs with brown spots in them. It is a sign of rain to see the blackbird hopping around the door looking for food. This bird is well known because she is a very sweet singer and a lot of poets have composed poetry about the blackbird.
