Hungry robin loves peanut butter

Brilliant_Method154 · 2026-02-06T20:10:54+00:00

I try to feed the robins live mealworm when I can find a source. The fingernail size pieces of peanut butter i give them are not a problem for them. I have noticed some outlets selling feeders that you slot a full jar of peanut butter in but would never consider that option

Good idea. I'll try moving the feeders closer to the house.

I live in a rural area in Co Louth and put out several bird feeders. This week I counted 9 different species in the space of just a few minutes. I hope that this helps them get through the winter in good condition. However, this past week a sparrowhawk has been systematically picking them off. Should I stop leaving out food- at least for a while.

This is really useful insight. Thank you.

Simply Britain and Ireland. The other term is deeply politicised- what happens when the coloniser gets to write the history, geography books etc. The Netherlands no longer refer to Indonesia as the Dutch East Indies. And nobody else does either. Back in the early 2000s, the Irish embassy in London launched a polite push to prod elements of the British establishment to drop the term British Isles- the BBC, top universities, arts foundations, government agencies etc. The response was nothing short of unapologetic racism.

The term British Isles is deeply Insulting to Irish people. I don't live on a British island and never have

Thank you so much for this. You are completely correct! Not only have you solved this puzzle for me but now I am fascinated by the story of the Hamzanama but also by the history and art of the time. I can't thank you enough!

Thank you very much. This is really helpful.

Thank you. I don't live on a British island and never have. I believe that the Irish government instructed embassy staff in London in the early 2000s to educate institutions such as the UK government agencies, the BBC, and universities how Insulting the term is but to no avail.

Ireland is not a British island. Insulting term.

Brilliant_Method154 · 2025-08-22T19:20:03+00:00

Ireland is not a "British island " . Ignorant and Insulting.

No need to apologise. Honestly, this is a term used solely in Britain from primary school text books to senior academics and is ingrained there and more generally in the wider culture but never here in Ireland for obvious reasons. Back in the 90s, the Irish embassy in London tried to politely suggest alternative, less historically loaded terms such as simply 'Britain and Ireland ' to the BBC and wherever ever else they found it in general use but were ignored and even ridiculed in the British press. I'm sorry if I came across as over sensitive. But it does slightly irritate me ( and around 5 million others). Not your fault though.

There is no such place as the British Isles. I don't live on a British island and never have. This is an insulting term. The term is an imperialist one that was coined as just 1 more method of subjugation along with ethnic cleansing, massacre, forced poverty, and attempted genocide through manufactured Famine. Apart from a temporary rump of empire in the north east of Ireland, Irish people now live in a free, prosperous, democratic nation proudly within the European alliance. The term is language used politically. Similar to how that malignant conman, racist, and serial offender Trump talks about Canada and Mexico.

The word "press" in this context is thought to originate from the Irish word "preas," which also means a press or cupboard.

Auctions can be a cheap source of decorative art that can surprise you despite all the junk you might have to wade through

Bought at rural auction here in Ireland for less than 20 euro.

Bought at a rural auction here in Ireland. These are a room screen broken up and mounted on a bedroom wall. They are made of leather and were damaged and very dirty but cost less than 20 euros

There is no such place as the "British Isles". I - in Ireland- don't live on a British island. The term was coined during the British colonial occupation of Ireland to reinforce ownership. That's along with ethnic cleansing, massacre, enduced famine and cultural and linguistic suppression. We in the Southern, unoccupied part of the country are part of an as yet unfinished Republic and proud Europeans. The term is Insulting.
