WAIT MAYBE ROBIN IS SOMEONE'S NAME. IT'S A TRICK QUESTION. 0% WERE ROBINS BECAUSE 100% WERE HUMANS.

thats the enitre question in the book.

Well it has to give you something to work with. Is the question about a paragraph or something that gives you more information? It must say somewhere how many birds there were to begin with, or at least give you a way to figure it out (from a graph or chart or something). We can't give you an exact number unless we know.
