We are...Robins have such big characters don't they? We are lucky to always have them nesting in the garden. Last year they found their way into the garage through a tiny hole in the roof and made a nest on top of my belt sander! We could still use the garage but one day we opened the door and the teeniest baby was on the floor! Panic! Do we leave it? Do we put it back? And then another one appeared. In the end we left Mum to sort it out. I used to buy mealworms but they weren't that fussed; they love Bettys layers pellets though and come right into the eglu to pinch them! I spend hours every Spring watching the birds nest building and the chicks coming and going...it's one of my biggest joys. And we buy a 20kg bag of seed virtually every month! But you have to help them out don't you?<BR/><BR/>My parents had a blue sink until recently; they thought it was great!<BR/>Debx<BR/>(Stanley looks right at home amongst your flowery china!)This Vintage Life...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02619707256991876126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-51575799091288538222008-09-22T16:37:00.000+01:002008-09-22T16:37:00.000+01:00That robin tin is so sweet.I love the cosy corner,...That robin tin is so sweet.<BR/><BR/>I love the cosy corner, it looks just that.A Thrifty Mrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593954537911177381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-25336060040118812272008-09-22T13:37:00.000+01:002008-09-22T13:37:00.000+01:00what a gorgeous tin, I love robins too and can't s...what a gorgeous tin, I love robins too and can't stand to hear anyone saying that they the bird of death.
