badmonkey Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 This is the first time that I have had Robins at my established bird feeder. There are two Robins hanging out at the feeder nearly daily. They don't perch on the feeder but they do eat seeds that have fallen to the ground. So far they are playing nicely with the other birds. Anyone else have Robins at their bird feeders?

Pheobe Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Robins are probably at your feeders to eat the insects around the fallen seed. You can feed them soaked raisins if you want to give them a treat. Just soak them in a bowl of water over night, drain them and then set them out. Catbirds, Orioles and Blue Jays will eat them too.

badmonkey Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 I will give it a try. We already have Robins, Catbirds, Blue Jays and several other species of birds at the feeder but it is always nice to give them a treat!

slk24 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 We have more robins this year than we have seen in years. The doves are driving us crazy, never minded a couple pairs but now we are up to about 6-7 PAIRS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
