  • your normal

    we dug over a big fertile garden for planting the other day and had 3 comming down in relays for the all you can eat buffet we had dug up for them, and yes i talked to each one individually...
  • I'm always amazed at how close they come.

    We've been putting up post and rail fencing this week and one has been hopping along behind us at various points in the day.

    I find myself saying all sort of things to him...

  • very normal, I have a couple of gardens where the robins come and sit on my fork, and hop around the bed i'm weeding to take the worms i've dug up, - always have a little chat to them, - in return they've come close enough for some great pictures.
  • I love Robins, there brill.
    Beautiful little things, so delicate, but so strong when it comes to pulling out worms!!

    Had a pair, shadowing me all day the other day when putting in a veg bed.

  • always say hello to them ............... same name of course .

    and a blackbird today !

    not usually except pigeon's fluttering all over my chimney and i threatened to shoot them !! (wouldn't though)
  • Heres a 'couple' from last year...


  • Here's a little fella who followed us around for a week.
  • I thought that I had read about only British Robins being tame.

    Below is an extract that I found on the Internet providing the reasons

    In the winter, resident birds are joined by immigrants from Scandinavia and the continental Europe; these Robins are paler than ours, have a duller red breast. The immigrants are also generally less tame because they skulk in woodlands, only British Robins are a tame garden bird.
  • Phew! sounds like I'm normal then. Was getting funny looks from someone.
    The robins work so hard this time of year.
    So do many other birds.
    What is surprising is the Robins willingness to get close to humans and talk to them.
    I'm sure it was saying "If your'e not going to eat that worm, get out of the way and let me at it"
    The lobworm was so big that it had a real scrap to kill it and four trips to carry it away
  • I love em...such a happy little song they have, black birds & Robins at the allotment have got it sussed :-)
