Robin: ‘The food table’s looking a bit empty!’
Me: ‘Well, hello to you, too, Robin.’
Robin: ‘Oh, okay. Hello, lady.’
Me: ‘Nice to see you today.’
Robin: ‘Never mind the small talk. It’s cold and I’m hungry!’
Me: ‘So, what else is new?’
Robin: ‘I’m still not seeing any food here. Suet is my favourite, y’ know.’
Me: ‘Yes, I know. And you’ll glare at me until I give you some, won’t you?’
Robin: ‘Darn right!’

Thanks for sharing this. Since losing my Dad a year ago, robins for me have become a sign that my Dad is still with me. They comfort me and make me feel peaceful and I often write poems about them and birds in general in fact. Have a lovely weekend, Sam 🙂

That’s a lovely sentiment, Sam. For me and my Mum it’s butterflies, so I can certainly appreciate how you feel. Glad you enjoyed my robins. 🙂

Robins and butterflies hey? It is always nature that brings us back to our real selves and what really matters 🙂

I was thinking the same thing as Val about the distincive plumage – he still has the juvenile speckling around his bottom parts and may have a touch of leuconism on the red breast and is that a white wing feather? He’s still beautiful though and quite distinctive.

I’ll certainly keep an eye for this bird when next I visit Forest Farm.

By the way, the feather pattern on this one is quite distinctive – should be easy to recognise this individual again.

Sometimes I look at your posts and think I’m seeing my own! I’m glad I’m not the only one with talking robins… and yours also asks for (aka demands) suet! 🙂

Yes, I also think we have certain traits / habits in common, Val. I find the local robins like the little pink bits of suet in common seed mixtures. 🙂

The pink ones contain cranberry, the green contain apple and the yellow or cream ones contain insects (no idea what sort). Mr H jokes that the green are ‘mint’! One of our robins, yesterday, took a green bit first, then a red bit but turned his beak up at a yellow one and flew off! His loss… 🙂

What a mine of information you are! I had no idea. And how strange that the local birds like cranberry.
