A few weeks ago I told you about training a robin to feed out of my hand. It took a lot of patience and standing out side. I finally got him to come to me.
However I missed him for a few days, the worms in the special feeder were not being taken.
Then neighbour said to me have you seen your robin lately and I said no. Then he proceeded to tell that he and another neighbour was talking on the back. Down swooped a big hawk and snatched my robin from the tree. He crushed him in his sharp talons and flew off with him leaving red feathers fluttering to the ground.
I feel as if I have lost a friend. Shirley
