they kept going up and down from tree to grass but didn't stay on the grass very long at all.

More likely female Flame Robin, but as female robins can be hard to ID I will leave for Chris, Michael or Ryu.

These Robins were not shy and we were able to get quite close and people with their dogs walked past closer to them than us and they just stayed up in the tree until they went by then back down on the lawn for a very short time then back on a branch. Have not seen other Robins act like this.
They were also smaller than other Robins we have seen.
