Default Mr & Mrs Robin

Next door but one has got 2 Robin's nests in his shed. We feeds the birds, but I have been trying to train the Robins a little....

We got them from the garden feeder to the window feeder by tempting them with meal worms and they are now so friendly that one came in the house the other night to ask where the bloody meal worms were!

Anyhoo, these are a few pics on the window feeder - s'cuse the mess and the window does need a clean yes!

hello

One on shed, one on feeder

I can see you!

I aim to get them eating out of my hands - they boss me about though so maybe they have trained me!

I'm afraid your picture links are not working.

The links work for me Mr Dinkle. Enjoy your robins. They are very tame. Mine follow me round the garden and sometimes don't even wait for me to get out of the way before jumping into whatever hole I'm making.

I'll try and get some better photos today - they are dragging their babies around with them today! I opened the back door and there was one on the step.
