Learned Behaviour
Robins never used to eat at any of our feeders, only at the birdtables and on the ground, and even from our hands. They lack the acrobatic abilities of the Tit family, and the seed preference of the finches.
For the last couple of years they have been frequently using the fat feeders and also even the seed in the cages, and teach the chicks to do the same.
Bird pics are not easy for me and my little handheld Tizzy but I had a go.
The other bird is a Coal-tit.
