How can robins live with snow on the ground?
Hello,
I saw 3 Robins a week ago and I live in mid-Michigan.I was AMAZED!!!! We missed the storm you got and we don't have much snow on the ground. I've been putting out cut up, "out of date" apples that I got from a grocery store, for the Robins. (There are no worms available.It hasn't been above freezing since Jan. 8th). Other than my 5 bird feeders, I'm also feeding 13 deer and 21 wild turkeys. Can't wait until spring!! Sue in Mi. (Zone 5) |

Yeah, they should file a formal complaint with the state!!!
Guess what? Robins are birds and they can fly to different places in search of food!!! They have been around for thousands of years and can figure out what to do all by themselves!!! There isn't 6" of snow everywhere, little Wobby. Think about it. The Wobulator wrote in message ... I always thought that a robins diet consisted of insects. Imagine my surprise of seeing a robin yesterday in Dayton, OH with 6'' of snow on the ground! I can see if it snowed one day and melted a few days later, but there has been consistently an inch or so of snow on the ground since December. The temps here have been in the 20's or colder. I'm originally from Minnesota where there are no robins to be seen from October through April. The Wobulator *Please REMOVE the obvious for my correct email address* |

Guess what? Robins are birds and they can fly to different places in search Nonsense. This is a 1000 mile blizzard we are having. They need some help. They may be eating things that you are not aware of such as holly berries. If you want to help, Clear out a small area and put out some apple slices, grapes, or raisins. The robin will spot the cleared area. They also need water. Marilyn in Ohio |

Believe it or not but there are lots of buggis out there hibernating and such. They also enjoy raisins plumped up by boiling them a short time. I just put a coffee cup with the raisins and water and nuke for a minute. Providing open water in the winter is actually more important then food. Colleen Connecticut |
