Robins

Fallacy that they are fat mate, they puff out their feathers to keep warm.

My son's favourite bird. Just pipping the preregrine falcon to first . Sometimes catch him up the farm standing by a hedge talking to them. (His teacher tells the kids that she has pet robins who tell her if the kids are naughty)

Usually see one when fishing and end up feeding them half my maggots

 

Lol... when i used do gardening couple times theyve landed on the botton end of the mower whilst cutting... there tame as anything they are how close they used come when was weeding or turning a bed over was mad .

 

i use to go into work with a mate some saturdays he was a bus driver so i use to do the town service with him, anyway the shed they use to do the spanering in always use to have a robin in there and at bait time they use to feed it bits of cake and sandwhiches from there bait boxes, you could put food on top of your shoe and he would come and take it off.

I don't know mate, it was in the colder weather.

Maybe he was just taking the piss because I've put on a few pounds

I was watching countryfile one day and there was a woman on it that opens her kitchin window and a robin would fly in have a bit of food then perch on a picture frame.

I love the smaller garden birds , spend a fair few quid feeding them in the Autumn / winter , I always have a special treat for the Robin in my garden he loves a few bits of mince .

I'm the same. Spend a fortune on black sunflower and I get allsorts of small birds. Last year the winter siskins stayed on to breed and then brought their young round for it.
