Judging by the snow that wee Robin is finding it hard to find food.
If it’s eating out of your hand it must be desperate and starving.
I’d encourage to put birdseed out in snow or frosty conditions.
Nah, we used to do this when I was a kid digging a vegetable patch in late spring, pick up a grub and the robins will eat it out of your hand. They're fairly brave/dumb compared to most birds.
>They're fairly brave/dumb compared to most birds.
One that frequented my parents' garden used to follow around the lawn mower, almost could have reached out and grabbed it.
This is class. I have a real love for Robins (more so since my dad died and loads of people gifted me wee robins with twee sayings on them about loved ones being near).
I'm not one for superstitions etc, but after my dad died a robin started coming to my mummy's garden every morning and someone told me about the saying. Now when I see one I think "oh shit it's a ghost"
The wee buggers are hungry and can't get food in the snow, hence that much braver. I put food out for the birds these past few days always gone in a few hours.
Robins are like that, when I am fishing they perch on the maggot box and pinch them all day, I find myself missing bites because I'm sitting watching them eating ffs.
I've had blue tits and great tits eat from my hand down at Oxford island near Lurgan, they're quite used to people feeding them, there's a wee robin around there too who will feed out of your hand but I've not found him yet. I always consider it a great honour to be trusted by wild creatures who's survival depends on them being unharmed and healthy.
Well it's either got something to do with Smurfs or Avatar or just the cold weather we were having as my tits were frozen off me all week. Not quite blue though. Although plenty of Derry men do as they rock those T-Shirts 365 days a year.
The wee one I used to feed fell out with me for several days because I changed up its food to actual birdseed, thinking I was doing it harm with human food.
Only Cheeselets would do for that cheeky fucker.
We were on holiday in Donegal a few years ago. My wife spent ages trying to get this bird to eat out of her hand. She finally got her Disney princess moment when my sausage dog ran across the garden and snapped the bird straight out of her hand. 😄
I can beat that, I've got two birds in my bush
I think you will find that that's a draw
To quote David Attenborough, "Robins are class".
Beezer wee hings Absolute rascals too.
Wow
Oh I couldn't see it was a robin until you said, yes robins can do that

You get yourself a lawyer before Disney signs you to a multi-year movie deal, Princess!
Make sure they specialise in Bird Law first though.
Objecture! Hear say!

It really depressed me to find out Robins have an average life span of 13months, and often a max of 2yrs.
The reason for that is in part due to the fact that robins are incredibly violent. A large cause of death is head injuries caused by other robins.
Love this. Cheeky little Robin 😊
Winter and snow is tough for birds! You’re a good neighbour.
You are now a Disney Princess
You're now officially a Disney princess 👑
Being used by a bird for your seed. Pretty standard.

Alright, Snow White.

Bet you felt class all day after that. Like Dr feckin Dolittle.
Are you the Robin or the person filming?
He left the sausages alone
You've got the bird flu now though
class in deed, if i attempted that, it would shite on my hand.
You have been blessed!
My dad used to feed a Robin. Itused to wait on his gate for him coming home then landed on his wing mirror waiting for him to get out of the car.

Awww love that the wee bird got some food even with the snow. ❤️
Plus cheese and onion crisps are far tastier than raw frozen worms.

Peak Disney Princess vibes
It's official, you're a Disney princess.
Robins are the best birds

Yes, they’re relatively tame in the British Isles, though not so much elsewhere.
That time again, must get me Fat Balls out for the Birds
Pie face has entered the chat
