Just one of the guys that arrive every day with their other half in tow. He takes from me and zips back to feed the awaiting Mrs Robin.

haha thats brilliant!
we have one at home that follows my mother around when shes gardening, and sits on the spade handle awaiting worms to be dug up :pac:

We've got a robin "couple" too .. one of them flies up to our bird table, does a bit of aerial gymnastics and grabs a bit off one of the fat ball thingies hanging from the table, and brings it back to it's mate who is perched on the bush next to the table. I assume it's the male fetching for the female, but since they're identical it's impossible to tell.

Amazing that he comes soo close!!:eek:

There is two here, one is really fat and they are very tame but, never come that close.

How on earth did you get him to come to you?????

I'm more amazed at the parrot in the plant pot.

I have a few birds that come close like that. His mate will come close but not land on me, she waits for food to be thrown to her if she is on her own, but Chuck (that's what I call him) has always come right to me and often perches on my shoulder when I am out the back, and he will feed from hand, as will a male blackbird that is a regular here.

Chuck will fly to the windowsill of whatever room I am in and basically stare me down until I go to him, but he will not land on anyone else in the house.

Here he is on a windowsill, I was lazy that day and handed a waxworm out to him, and then got stared down, until I put it in my hand for him to take.

Here is the little fecker staring in, with the waxworm still near his feet.







Pick it up for me.













Another shot taken the same day as the first pic in the thread

The male fetches for the female, it is what they do during the breeding season.
