When you were staring at your robins, did they become more agitated if/when
you blinked? I've heard a theory that robins associate blinking with biting
or swallowing, and it would be interesting to know whether you'd noticed
anything on those lines.

Nope - once we realised that they were happier if we didn't look at them
we just ignored them - and we cottoned on to this pretty fast !
