Read the size clue
A robin is a small bird. From its beak to its tail, it measures about 140 millimeters long, which is 14 centimeters. That's about the length of a standard pencil!

Quick Check

Estimate
Hold your hand up. How long do you think a robin is from your thumb to your pinky finger? Now, measure it with a ruler.
Find something in your room that is about the same length as a robin (14 cm).
