I've tried different noises, but the tapping seems to be the most effective.
They're probably about the size of half a finger - tiny little things, but still miraculously much larger than the eggs they hatched from, less than a week ago.
How sweet! And no, I'm not a robin phobe. Quite the opposite in fact. I have collection of English robin statues, cards, etc. that various family members have given me over the years because my husband Rob's name actually is Robin -- not Robert as people always assume. xoxox
Terrific fun...is that called teasing?
ReplyDeleteI hope so, rather than cruelty to robins!
ReplyDeleteAw, so sweet, would they do the same if you spoke to them or made a noise like kissing?
ReplyDeleteThey look like very odd flowers, with their beaks springing open like that :D How big are they?

ReplyDeleteI was a five day old baby Robins once but I didn't look at bit like them!
ReplyDeleteWorth looking for David Lack's The Life of the Robin in your stock before you sell it.
