Trapping of wild robins was common practice in Malta. However due to awareness campaigns in school by Birdlife, this habit has been reduced. The Robin Roundup activity is a constant reminder to encourage students to stop wild robin trapping.

The year 3.2 students of Ms Rodianne had the opportunity to learn more about this sweet bird which visits our country during winter to protect itself from colder winters abroad. The robin travels long distances to reach our island. Pity that some robins end up trapped in a cage, rather than being enjoyed in our countryside.

Students prepared craft robins which were displayed in class as a follow up to this activity.
