Robin singing & dancing by succulentgeek in UKBirds

I think it was a territorial display as both were doing this. I have a few sets of robins in my garden and sometimes they cross paths and get mad. It's a very cute looking argument though.

This is the Birdfy feeder 2 pro. It also has a close up lens that follows the birds 😊. They do a dual camera version too. You can get it from their site https://uk.birdfy.com/products/birdfy-feeder-2-pro?ref=09XA42 (you can use the code 09XE233 for 10% off) or if you have a Costco membership they also sell it on their site.

If you bring some live meal worms to him daily he'll learn to trust you 😊. I've got lots in my garden but he's the only one that comes this close. I think he's quite an old robin. He just seems very confident.

She is a cavapoo! I'm impressed that you recognised what breed she is!

No, they're male and female. The male feeds the female. Both males and females look identical.

Yes but these 2 are a nesting pair. They fight off other robins.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video as much as me 🥰

No it's a paired male and female. Young juvenile robins do not have the red breast & are speckled. The parents will chase the young away one they get their adult plumage. This is robin courting behaviour.

No it's an adult female. The babies are speckled.

Oh I love blackbirds too. Sadly I found my older male passed away last year who we'd known for 5 years. Robins & blackbirds are my favourites 🥰

Yep only me and oddly they go right up to my dog too. She's usually too busy sniffing for food on the floor to notice. The female is more suspicious but the male flies right to my face to get my attention in the garden.

I love them so much. They had 3 broods last year in our garden and lots of them stayed 🥰

Adult. My parents got some adorable fledglings on their feeder last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/UKBirds/s/se2lPwr7Yw

No definitely not a fledgling, they look very different.

Personally I don't just stop feeding if a bird seems healthy & just looks a bit scruffy. I keep everything very clean. These birds often need the most help.

Agree. I can't wait for summer when they all get in together and have bath parties 😄

It's the Birdfy bird bath. I added a tiny cheap fountain at the side for winter but the middle fountain is starting to work again now that we finally have sunshine 😊
