| | | Help with suitable bird feeder Can anyone recommend a suitable feeder/food for a Robin?
It needs to something that hangs up. i.e not a bird table (nowhere to put it) or anything on the ground (issue with rats last winter!).
Thanks |

| | | Re: Help with suitable bird feeder Think your best bet would be a hanging bird table ideally with mealworms on offer and/or bacon rinds etc. Robins aren't usually known to use the hanging feeders. |

Just had a look in Amazon and they're quite reasonably priced so will order one. |

| | | Re: Help with suitable bird feeder This is probably what you mean ..... Gardman Adjustable Small Bird Feeder: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors
I have several of these dotted around and aswell as robins other small birds will come onto them aswell.
I feed the specific robin foods in a different location to the others (robins here are aggressive towards all other birds), on the others i put suet chips and the tit family love that ! |

| | | Re: Help with suitable bird feeder our robins usually feed off the ground or the bird tables but have one who likes to be different and gets sunflower hearts successfully from a hanging feeder

Thus most bird behavioural descriptions tend to be cautious |

| | | Re: Help with suitable bird feeder You might also get a stick-on window feeder and put some sunflower hearts in it. Robins will use these, and give you the chance of a close-up view if you don't move about too much. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
