Following on from the robin photos last week, it was a bonus to see two robins feeding together later that day. I don’t know whether they’re both males, male and female or even two females. It’s difficult to tell just by looking.
They are bigger I believe, and pretty common. Ours eat mealworms so they won’t take my normal birdseed so feeding them is a challenge lol. We used to have some nest on our porch on top of the light fixture but my husband put a stop to that lol.
Ours eat mealworms too but I buy a seed mix especially for robins and other small birds and they love it. We had a nest in the back garden ( a better place than on top of a light fitting 😁 ) a few years ago, it was lovely watching the robins feeding their babies.
We don’t live in a very rural area so that’s really the only spot on our property for nests, luckily there is a park across the street and I see a lot of robins hopping around over there in the springtime. At my house we get a lot of sparrows, some house finches, mourning doves, and there is a pair of cardinals that come by. 🙂
Wonderful captures!

Thank you 🙂 Just googled the American robin, the colouring is quite different and look as though they might be bigger.

Aw, they’re so sweet! Do female robins have red breasts too then? For some reason – probably an old wives tale – I thought only male robins had…

I thought so too, like most birds the female was less colourful than the male. But both male and female robins have the red breast.
