walshie 2,804 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 We've got a few robins round this way. Two live in the front garden and are always rucking. One lives in the back garden and is very tame. My mrs has always had a phobia about birds "flapping" and I was surprised she has taken a shine to this one. He often lands right by the back door and helps himself to a peck at the dogs bone or sits waiting for the mrs to throw some crumbs out, but the other day he got bolder and was sitting inside the back door next to my lurcher who was ignoring him. Apparently it got bolder and flew into the kitchen as a couple of minutes later I heard a shrieking sound and looked up to see my mrs with a colander on her head and a fly swat trying to shush it out. By the time i'd found my phone to take a pic, it had flown out again. Bugger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
