Well, unless they look *exactly* like a robin ... They've been around
and under the bird table all day, though never two on the table at the
same time. Maybe a cock and his harem?
Must be my delicious fat/ground peanut/seed mix!

I think you have more than your fair share and I am jealous :-)

I'll trade you a couple for a few sparrows - the sparrowhawk must have
caught all of them :(

We now often have more house sparrows than chaffinches at the feeders.

My bird book says that there is another bird that looks a bit like a
robin, so that might explain the garden with six robins in it.

Robins are not promiscuous, as far as I know.

Jackdaws are probably our most intelligent birds, they always feed in
pairs, one keeps a look out, whilst the other eats.

They are also the most voracious birds known to man. Whenever I hang up a
fatty cake for the birds, the jackdaws polish it off in quarter of an hour.
(I love them, even though they are expensive friends)

When I was a small child, my grandmother had a jackdaw that talked, it
also did imitations of her calling the chickens to be fed. One day the
jackdaw was found dead in the copper, foul play was suspected. Foul
not fowl!.
