OT - what happens to a little stream....

I'm so glad you have a new robin to tame.

I will get the pictures sent to Vicki as soon as I can. I will try and snap the robin but he is still wary. Shirley

Yes this is a bird table. Usually they are made about 16 inches square and put on top of a post so the cats cannot get them. Food is sprinkled on the table. Often a roof is put on but it means the larger birds cannot get to the food. I got DH to make me one. He made the bottom tray and put a one inch rail round it. I gave him a square of fine plastic canvas and he fastened that on top with another rail. That meant that I could put the food on the plastic canvas and when it rained the water ran through and kept the seed from becoming soggy.

The peanuts are in a bird feeder also the sunflower hearts.

Now the mealy worms have to be put in a container that they cannot climb out. They also have to be protected from the larger birds or they are gone in seconds. At 12 UK pounds a LB I have to protect them so I designed another feeder. The worms are in a tray stood on a piece of wood. On top I put a plastic basket upside down with one hole cut out. The robins bob in and out of the hole. A brick keeps it held together.

I have peanuts strung on a thread in their shells. I also fill pine cones with hard fat with seeds and bits of food in it.

"Snap the Robin" - sounds like a great name for an alternative band!
