Do Robins eat at McDonalds ?

I think I might have met one today, I was having a walk and , as I'm going past a hedge I saw this Robin who, was not afraid of me and posed for a filum clip
Fat robin

He/she is a fatty. I wonder if she didn't fly off because she was feeling poorly, or about to give birth? For a moment I thought she wasn't real until she blinked.

She/he flew off Mollie and was as articulant in the air as you would expect , My diagnosis is , Someone is feeding her/him and that explains the friendliness but. In a way, its unkind of that person because, That bird has to find its own food to maintain its fitness,

Looking at the bloating of the stomach, I'd say the person feeding him may be giving him/her bread, which is very unkind, and dangerous.

It's a 'he'!

The other day I went to Golden Days garden centre and also went into the Maidenhead Aquatic shop. There were Two Robins flying around both buildings I look out of the bungalow during the day to see what is landing on the bird table and catch sight of a Robin a few times during the day.It makes a change than all the StarlingsWhere do they hid in the summer months?Just be reading about Robins .A large% only life for 12 moths but some of the survivors can live for 5-6 years

Remember this one?

Robins puff out their feathers, called rousing, to stay warm. It fluffs air into the bird’s down feathers, giving some insulation to help the robin maintain its body temperature. Other times, that large-looking robin could be a male puffing up his chest to display his territory or to attract a female for breeding. Robins are pretty plucky.. Their courage makes it easy to hand feed them by developing trust. Robins prefer many other foods over bread as it has no beneficial value to them

I put suet pellets out which have mealy worm in them also now the colder weather is approaching I have also put out some fat balls(no Puns needed).I also put the remains of the broken biscuits onto the bird table and change the water every day

I have to admit ignorance when it comes to birds, as much as I love them. I've never enticed birds into my garden because I've always kept cats, and it would be wrong of me to do that.

Oddly enough though, out of all the cats I've ever had, only one has gone after birds, the others being too darned lazy to be bothered.

Many years ago, we had a massive ginger tom cat and one day we found him lying on the lawn with his front paws curled under him. Mum went out and found that, between his paws, he was holding a pigeon hostage and it was still alive and unhurt. Mum told him to let it go and he brought his paws back under him again, still with the pigeon, so she gave him a clout and he let it go. Mum picked it up and put in on a branch where it got its breath back, then flew off.

I was talking to my Son who lives in Canada the other day about a . fat ginger Tom cat who plagues my garden and frightens the birds away, He made me laugh by saying " Fat ginger tomcats are rare here because, He's a favorite dish to black bears and coyotes " So the owners keep them home ,

anyone know where I can get a black bear ?

I've got a black cat if that's any help. She's only little but she scares other cats away.
