American Robin ………. odd behavior. The same bird or is this ‘idea’ spreading?
Odd behavior for a robin! Again! Last year we had a robin at this same time of year – coming to the feeders. Both to the platform feeder and on the ground underneath. And Cleon and I swore the bird was eating seed. Robins don’t eat seed – they eat worms, insects, and fruit. We do not know if it is the same robin, but if you look at the birdfeeder cam, a robin has been on the ground under the feeders off and on for the past 2-3 days. If only birds would read their entries in bird books and field guides – birding would be so much easier! Robins are not supposed to be at feeders! But this one sure is……
Have any of you observed robins at your feeders? Are they eating or just being nosy?
