I think I did a double take when I saw a robin sitting on my platform feeder..I remember thinking, what do you suppose this bird is eyeing from that bird seed mixture?
Oh my goodness, it is eating the grape jelly!! lol! A surprise to me!!
I see him every day getting his jelly fix! Morning, noon and late day.. I love it!!
(click to see that big blob of jelly he is holding in his bill)
Nice photos...and hey, some of us gals have a real sweet tooth...or beak...
ReplyDeleteI have learned something new.I knew the Robins love raisins,but had no idea they also liked grape jelly.Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Well I'll be darned.... Had no idea that the robins liked that jelly....Think I may have to try that since we have lots of Robins around.
ReplyDeleteCute photos, Tina.
Hugs,
Betsy
... and I just told someone that robins are not feeder birds. Except for the robins eating dropped apples last winter, your grape jelly is the closest I'v come to seeing robins on a feeder. Thanks1
ReplyDeleteRuth, Betsy and Chris,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you mentioned that you, too, weren't aware of robins eating jelly..I wonder if they are fond of grapes? I know Ruth mentioned a long time ago that she fed them raisins..
Great shots! Give something sweet and I will pass up an orange too.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet Tina! I'll have to try that sometime.Love the post below too. Oh and the new Towhee header is GREAT!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! This is very surprising but nature is full of nature. When you think you know, then surprises come!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures!
Does he have a sweet beak Tina ? (read sweet tooth) !
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely very wierd. It go to show why you never say never.
ReplyDeleteThanks for teaching me something new. Your robin certainly enjoys his grape jelly.
ReplyDeleteWow..the Robins here have not gone to the grape jelly...lucky gal..now I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteOh..and I was wondering if you were taking a blogging vacation..Glad to see you back!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh. Yes they eat jelly and peanut butter and also the cracks and pieces of the meat of sunflower seeds. In fact there is one mother who waits on other birds to kick out sunflower pieces of seed so she can get it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs! We used to feed raisins to Robins when they came to WI before the snows were finished. But I never thought they would eat jelly at a feeder.
ReplyDeleteI did a double take too, when I saw the first image, thinking, how did she get a robin to visit the feeder? Nice!
ReplyDeleteAww, this is so sweet! I really like the last picture, adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought the Robin would go for the grape jelly. We might be surprised what they will eat when it is available.
