Passerine
A passerine () is any bird of the order Passeriformes (; from Latin 'sparrow' and '-shaped') which includes more than half of all bird species. Sometimes known as perching birds, passerines generally have an anisodactyl arrangement of their toes (three pointing forward and one back), which facilitates perching. With more than 140 families and some 6,500 identified species, Passeriformes is the largest order of birds and one of the most diverse clades of terrestrial vertebrates, representing 60% of birds.Ericson, P.G.P. et al.

''Robin'' was a British weekly children's magazine published from 1953 to 1969, originally by Hulton Press. ''Robin'' was billed as "companion to ''Eagle'', '' Girl'', and '' Swift''" and aimed at younger readers and pre-readers.

Artists who worked on ''Robin'' included Sabine Schweitzer, Jennetta Vise, Basil Reynolds, Reg Foster, and Robert Williams. Publication history In 1959–1960, Odhams Press acquired Hulton Press, renaming it Longacre Press,. thus taking over publication of ''Eagle'', ''Girl'', ''Swift'', and ''Robin''.

It was conceived during the hiatus between the third and fourth series of their BBC Television series '' Monty Python's Flying Circus''.
