What are you feeding them? It is unusual for a robin (or any thrush species, for that matter) to eat from a feeder given that their diet consists entirely of fruits/berries and invertebrates.<br /><br />Are you particularly interested in birds? If you are so inclined, you might consider creating an eBird account (https://ebird.org/home) and logging your feeder sightings. The site is a project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and is an incredible testament to the power of citizen science and crowd-sourced data. Thanks to an army of "ebirders" the world over and the team at Cornell that analyzes and distills the data, our understanding of species distribution, frequency, migration timing and patterns, and much more, is presently more fine-grained and detailed than ever before.

And thank you for sharing that story. There are many people who love animals and many people that can't stand them. I think it's a bonus to love them instead of hate them. Off the top of my mind, I'll try to write what the three top monotheisms say about being kind to animals:<br /><br />Talmud: The righteous man feeds his cat before sitting down to eat.<br /><br />Hadith: A woman drew water from a well and gave it to a thirsty dog to drink. And her sins were forgiven her.<br /><br />Gospel: The birds of the air sow and reap not, nor gather into barns, yet God feeds them.Michael Llenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689105280485818465noreply@blogger.com
