That robin was supertame. He and his mate just kept having brood after brood because they knew all he had to do was look at me with his big eyes and I'd buy another kilo of worms. He used to chase his juveniles and even his mate away sometimes, he was a little savage. He got a respiratory illness and I didn't know you could take wild birds to the vet.

I have the photos on my PC, for some reason the sd card on my phone always corrupts and so did the replacement, so I don't know if I got two fake cards or if it's just an android thing. I don't have that issue on my old android 6 tablet or my old android 2 phone ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€

I think every robin I have ever observed interacting with other birds has been a violent little bastard hahaha. Maybe they're less a symbol of Christmas and more one of the Boxing Day sales

And hey, it's a shame that he died like that, but it sounds like you gave him a proper life of luxury for a wild animal. It's beautiful that he trusted you so much
