Rocky 2 - the sequel.

How wonderful that this little chap sat in your hand! I wish something like that would happen to me!

He certainly does BB ...and he got one full of mealworms Lol! Thats so amazing, he'll be looking out for you now .....beautiful!

awww he is adorable and so clever to go straight to the source of the food lol.
well done BB

lucky you. he looks so cute....

No fear at all- lovely to see,thank you BB :))

AWWWW well done BB, that was lovely to see, thanks for showing it to us.

Luckily Jane was there with the camera,and even she was surprised at how long he sat there ! Lol He seemed to be thinking "Now which is the biggest" !

He,s deffinately a little star , fantastic BB , I suspect he will be keeping you company in your garden for a long time to come :o)

How amazing Ray. The young ones are less wary, dont you think. You'll treasure this moment forever :-)

Made my day...or week even Dawn ! Yes Amy,feel so priviliged !

you are so lucky BB, i would so love that to happen, lucky jane had camera to, well done :o)

Thanks Sandra...it was special! x

Well caught Jane and lucky you Bb that was a treat, I wish my birds would come to my hand, I was trying it when we were in Scotland but they would'nt come nearer than the decking step.

Keep trying Bob..they very seduced by mealworms !

How lovely it must of felt to have this perching and feeding out of your hand.lovely blog

My robin doesnt seem to want me anymore :-((
I hope he returns when the weather turns colder.
They are so light Morgana, you can hardly feel their weight on your hand, such a special almost surreal feeling.

What a wonderful experience and such a privilege too. Ours seem to have forsaken us too since nesting Dawnsaunt, we only see them occasionally now. How lucky to have the camera handy too.

I've just been to the spot where my tame robin lives but no sign of him, I left him some meal worms anyway. Catching them on camera is the hardest part.

Well Rocky..you made a good choice there..you won't get hungry..your foster mum /dad will take good care of you...
well done Jane and Ray,thanks for sharing

Absolutely brilliant BB.

Can't imagine how that must have felt but think it's great.

Well done.

Hi Dawn and Lily...sure as you say when weather turns again and food is scarce they will be back ! Ever feel used ? Lol
Thanks Deida and Oddbillie...certainly will keep those mealworms coming !
Morgana...words cannot explain the feeling.Dawn knows...she first on GoY to post a pic of her robin.!

I hope mine will be back so he/she can use me again, lol.
I agree Ray, its an amazing feeling that I will never forget.

You had to go one better didn't you. Mine one touched down on my hand, grabbed a mealworm and took off straight away. Wonderful experience nonetheless.
I hope yours continues to come back for you. Great pics.

Dawn...he/she will be am sure.
Toto...think its because he is only a fledgling and has not yet learned to be wary.Has grown up in our garden and have been feeding him since day one ! Keep up with feeding yours and sure will become even tamer!

We are all so lucky to have them around us :-)

You're very brave. If that came near me I'd die lol.

Agree Dawn...the best things in life are free !

Hywel LOL...its a baby robin...not a Pteradactyl dinosaur !

Absolutely BB!
Hywel, you make me laugh.

Oh yes...belly laughs all round Thanks Hywel !

I wouldn't mind a penta-- .... whatever, but birds I can't abide sorry. Well some don't like snakes and there's nothing wrong with them :o)

I dont like snakes Hywel, lol. Well I do just as long as they sliver near me.

Why do I make you laugh just because I have a phobia. You wait until I find something that makes your skin crawl and I will laugh at you !

You have Hywel ... snakes and Milky's and Toto's slow worms, whooooo

I meant BB aswell.

Oh right Hywel .... we'll have to await his response.

Oh Hywel..a Pteradactyl is a huge flying dinosaur with about a 15 foot wing span !Wouldnt so much have perched on you as swallowed you whole.! Ill stick with baby robins Lol.
As for phobias Hywel am claustrophobic...my biggest fear is being locked in Totos shed with him and his nurse ! Lol

lol - I don't think I'd like that either.
Anyway I can look at a pteradactyl but anything with fethers or beaks I can't stand.

Relax Hywel they are extinct ! Lol.Hope you can one day overcome your phobia.!

I know I told you that you have a way with" the birds", Ray, and can get them to eat" from the palm of your hand", lol! But, to use a wee, defenceless Robin as a stand-in!....Well, I mean, of all the underhand..... was looking for some real tips, LOL!

Fab blog and pics, as always - Brill!!!!!!! :-)

Oh David..its only the feathered variety nowadays ! Suggest you try the likes of George Clooney for the real tips ! LOL ! Glad you enjoyed !
