Animal symbolism
Robin
What the tradition holds
Read as new growth and as the turn of a season, particularly the end of a long stretch of nothing.
Where that reading came from
In North America robins appear on lawns as the ground thaws and worms come near the surface, so their arrival is a real signal about the year.
Seeing the first robin of the year is a genuine seasonal marker. Later ones are mostly lawns.
