"klara King" wrote in message ... In message , martin writes 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. {:-)) Franz |

"klara King" wrote in message ... martin writes 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. 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? Robins are not promiscuous, as far as I know. Franz |

wrote: 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!. -- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad |
