I love when they ‘foot up’ I’ve noticed other birds do this too. I don’t know if it’s a ‘thank you’ or ‘I trust you’ or ‘don’t be afraid of me’ but they are definitely trying to communicate something. I ‘foot up’ when ever I notice a bird watching me just to see their reaction.
The little robin in our garden was eating out of my hands this morning. It made me so happy that he trusted me. They so sweet and so trusting
+Natasha Wiening Ah it's a wonderful feeling isn't it...they're so light. Thanks for watching ~ Paul
How did you get them to come to you?

Are you sure that is a robin
@Bunkiebe These are European robins. The robin with the white eye rings you are talking about is the American robin, which is actually a type of thrush :) It was named after the European robin because they both have red-orange chests.
There are two robins in the factory where I work. I worried about them flying into a window or being poisoned but two years now and they watch me all the time knowing that I unwittingly drop food for them. They come real close and I'm amazed at their agility and their boldness. My favourite wee bird.
I love my robins
I'm an American and, no lie, one of my biggest regrets after my first trip to the UK this year was not getting more time to watch these little robins. I LOVE European Robins, they've got so much personality and are so much prettier than American robins in my opinion. And of course, every time I came across one in my travels there were other tourists in the area who would scare them away from the paths, it was such a shame.
American Robins are a completely different species.
yesterday a robin i never have seen before just went straight into my hand. With and without food... they’re so light.... so cute. it’s a wonderful feeling!
amazingly friendly, i've known one for two years, the trust built up in time to just touching her with my finger under her wing [not stroking]. she's smart, if i'm not in the back garden she'll find me in the front. favourite treat is live waxworms and mealworms especially when they breed and feeding their young, this is when i first met her, and oddly enough it was just after my mother passed away. it's a unique relationship and one i'll cherish the rest of my life.
I am from India. Many bird species are found here. In my garden, I love to hand feed my friend birds. Like, peacock, bulbul (a type of bird with red patches on neck) , house sparrows, parrots, pigeons and doves. I also hand feed squirrels found in my garden
Yesterday I was out breaking up soil in my vegetable patch and noticed a Robin watching me. I started to throwing him the worms that I found and he stayed there for an hour eating the worm I found. Today I walked into the garden and he immediately came down and started hopping around my feet. Hope I can hand feed him soon.
Lol!! That last little robin stuffed his beak! 😄
Feeding the birds brings me lots of joy, as a gardner I've always noticed birds around but never paid any attention really , someone close to me passed away , and they used to feed birds and foxes , I do that in there honor and it brings peace and a quiet content , 40 now , my teenage self must be rolling around in his grave lol stay happy bird friends
I can so relate to this 🥰
@SubliminalPriestess all the best lil lady
Once I walked in my holiday house’s kitchen and there was a robin sitting on the kitchen counter! He started to panic because he couldn’t find a way out, but we put some bird seed in a shoe box (with holes so he could breath) and released him back outside. I love robins they’re such happy friendly birds!
Definitely true! I see them very close up often, and I'm planning to feed them and other birds from my hand too.
I love nature and this is the reason why I love birds 🙂
Me too 🥹
@@ohketodae5304 that’s great 😀
Wow the clarity of these and the close ups are amazing
Pretty birds and very brave with great personalities. I've missed them since I moved from the UK. You are lucky to live where they are plentiful.
They're so cheeky, within moments of gardening I usually have a little spectator or two by my side waiting for a big juicy worm
We have a robin nesting in our garden. Absolutely love them 💝
What a cutie! He trusted you!
***** Thank you Annemieke. Have a lovely weekend.

This is how batman got his inspiration for sidekicks.
A couple of years ago I noticed that robins in public parks liked to follow me and ever since I have spent occasional times feeding them different things, everything from slivers of apples, pineapples, various seeds etc. The very first time it was pretty amazing, it munched down the food and then sung me a little song. It knows me by my whistle and every time I pass the park I stop by to say hello, I think only once in two years he hasn't come to say hello, and that day he actually came to visit me in the pub nearby about two hours later. I have tried hand feeding him a few times but haven't had success yet but have gotten close.
I cannot feed them by just hand but if I put a big leaf over hand and food on that they will happily come over. Hope that helps.
@@Jones578 A few days after asking this I had success with hand feeding, I have two primarily that I feed now and they seem to have a territorial issue between them, I call them fat red and skinny red, or FRed and SRena. Theres about 4 robins that have shown up plus a yellow belly bird once, only fed the two robins so far though.
I haven't needed a leaf or anything, I just feed them with my hand either on the ground or the bench I sit on.
They are both still a little skittish, Fred a little more so, even though fred almost always shows up first.
But they do come and react to different whistles, fred comes to a triple whilsle, and srena to a double.
@@8thsinner that is lovely great to hear of your success. Mine was quite picky. It would be perfectly fine sitting on my shoulder or knee but refused to eat out of hand unless leaf. Sadly the robin disappeared from our garden 10 weeks ago. I am hoping it was a territory change due to a new but untamed robin in garden. But fear it may have been neighbours cat that has lead to its disappearance.
@@Jones578 I don't know where you call home Hanna, but here in the UK I have noticed it takes longer for either of my main two to show up since the winter started, It would be sad to think yours are dead but I wouldn't give up. I have spent over an hour waiting for fred to show up some days, it depends on what time I go through the park too, he seems most busy during high sun, and usually only shows up quickly around 5-6 pm these days.
You may find yours are just changing routines due to the time of year also.
Despite fred showing up quicker most days, it's usually only srena that shows no fear in standing on my fingers on ocassion. Shoulder or knee would be cool. And still no short feat of trust by our little flying friends.
How amazing is nature? It’s a life line sometimes ❤ 😊
How beautiful!!! 💗 What an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for uploading.
the most darling little birds that ever existed....
I get these cute little yellowish birds called Verdin.
Great video. We see these here in Cornwall, especially when we are on the country trails and stop for lunch. So cute. 🐦
...fabulously understated video
all credit to you, Paul
big thanks for
upload
ps
...makes the heart almost
burst delight
& joy
Little robins.:)
They're very friendly birds.There are many robins in my garden too.
Nice video.
I have a couple of Robbins living in a hedge below my balcony and they come to see me and ask for food all day long. I've tried to feed them from my hand but they are not so confident, but they fly around and come in the kitchen I just talk to them and give them some birds food!! They have been making my days easy during this lockdown!!!
I like how they look at you every time they eat a seed to make sure it’s not a trap 🪤
Bellissimo video! Adoro i pettirossi! Sei molto fortunato! Complimenti! ❤
strange to see more than one of them at a time as they are very territorial birds, i have one that comes to my window everyday for food, love seeing them theyre such lovely little birds!
Trop belles vidéos avec ces merveilleux petits rouges gorges, que du bonheur pouvoir les avoir sur la main tout en les voyant en totale liberté. Bravo et merci de faire partager vos vidéos
I didnt know Robins did this. Its wonderful. Thanks for video
Thats so lovely . I get a little visitor in my garden . My grandads fav so it reminds me of him. Gets really close to us too 😊
Thank you for this beautiful video. Such a wonderful post. Keep well.
so adorable 💙💕
We were invaded by robins a few weeks ago. They are still around .. Amazingly friendly. Great share !!
Laura G Thank you Laura :-)
Paul Dinning You are most welcome. Thank you for sharing the bird life there. Have a nice week ...
Lucky you! :)
Where did they invade? Your garden??
How wonderful.
Oh my 😮I’d be in my element if I could do that. You must be blessed. I tried and had the Robin pair flying near hand but at last minute turn back. My arms got tired waiting ages to no avail
Very cute - Superb!
Nice hand feeding, those Robins trust you.
i love small round fluffy birbs with twiggy little legs. OMG.
This is great...and it totally enthralled all 4 of my cats..so, on behalf of Big Spike, Lady Sparkle, T.C. and Trouble...THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ann Frye A big thanks to Big Spike, Lady Sparkle, T.C. and Trouble. Have a great weekend ~ Paul
Beautiful darling birds
Beautiful.
Thank you for the very interesting share Paul Dinning, from a neighbor from across the pond....unfortunately information turns into a travesty here, so it was really nice to find some beautiful truth.
The birds around me hopped and played:
Their thoughts I cannot measure,
But the least motion which they made,
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
I’ve recently observed two Robins in different places, doing a really strange sideways back n forth wave like dance, it looks so strange. I assume it’s a mating or territorial thing. It’s like a Mexican wave with their head and body🥰🥰🥰
Wie schön.Es geht also auch ohne Vernichtung,Ausrottung,Vermüllung usw.
This is so lovely! ❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful!
those robins trust you a lot
Must try this. we have several that visit our garden, would make my year that.
excellent camera work.....and lots of patience. well done.
I LOVE this birdie
Favorite bird
superb, robins for sure know what's in our heads, I've had few land at my feet when coast walking
Beautiful Souls
Wow, I love them, they're so tame.
Actually Robins are extremely teratorial they won't stand for other birds invading there ground
Awesome video 🥰
Great video thanks for the upload :)
Ach, wie schön❣ ich liebe Rotkehlchen! 🐦 Vogel des Jahres 2021! Oh, lovely❣I love robins! The bird of the year 2021!
I really love this fantastic video of my favourite garden bird. I tried many, many occasions to feed my garden Robin with my hand but failed. It did come as near as a foot away from me but it appeared that it has no confidence in me! I hope it will eat from my hand one day -- my dream! Thanks for sharing, Paul.
kwee eng Thank you very much. My garden robin never feeds from my hand either. The robins at Tehidy Woods are very confident around people.
Paul Dinning Many thanks for your kind response. Much appreciated.
The guy with the food is Alfred. Batman is hidden in a bush nearby, ready to snatch them for training.
How do you get them to eat out your. Hand I have tried holding food out in front of them a couple of times theydont want it??
Hope this helps
Well, you have to stand there for several hours in order for them to get used to you; that could take days!
@@theltshow9281 Took me a couple seconds.
IDK WHY ARE DE ROBIN SOO CUTE
Wow you are a lucky one! The Robins over here are so shy, all it takes for them to fly away immediately is one of us looking out the window :(
awwww. They are so cute!
awesome ty for posting
Where is this? I assume it's somewhere where birds are regularly fed.
Another super video, thanks
Clive Bird Thank you Clive. Thanks for watching
0:35 Dang, that looks cool
Any tips on how to befriend robins so they can eat from your hand? I’ve a very thin robin living in my garden and I was hoping to feed him sometimes from my hand.
Oh...
that's so cute! !!
RobinTheBird AJ Thank you :-)
The camera lens is detected as a large eye - the animals think: What is that?
I’ve got 4 baby robins in a wall planter I hope when they fledge I can feed them 😂
They are getting ready to leave. Mum has been chirping all morning trying to entice them out of the nest. They are like my 5 sons lol don’t want to leave home 😂
That is fantastic :)
Thanks Oliver :-)
I'm surprised they weren't attacking each other. We have a total arsehole of a Robin at the mo who's attacking all the others, even the babies. Super aggressive little bugger.
Funny the only time I saw a robin eating anything this summer was in the backyard eating a worm, which is interesting the way they do that
That is amazing!
+S Gabriels Thank you very much :-)
I found a robin in a green house somewhere in London, I forget the name of the park but it had huge green houses
Lovely 😊❤
I have Robin's building a nest near my balcony this week. Do they like regular sunflower seeds or are there a specific kind of seed?
Vraiment beau merci pour vos vidéos
Patricia Carpentier Merci beaucoup pour les regarder ~ Paul
I have been on a mission to feed as many wild bird species as possible. I am up to 21. A Robin in Canada would be very difficult to accomplish and would likely require worms on the hand to attract them. Those Robins in the UK seem to be more sociable than the ones over here.
Is it harder to do this in your Garden? do they feel safer feeding from your hand in the countryside? awesome video by the way!
Please, can I know which type of seeds are what I see in your video?
top ! sehr gut !
Wow, awesome!
amazing 👏
They are so cute
They fly off super quick
Mealworms seemed way less popular with them than sunflower seeds. Is that because they were not 'fresh' (not alive basiacally)?
How do you get them to do this?
Can you tell me how you get the Ronins to feed of your hand please ? As I want to be able to do that and capture it
How long did it take for the robins to trust you enough to feed from your hand? There is one little robin who lives in the hedge in our garden but it's extremely shy. I would love to hand feed it! Your film is just beautiful!
In the UK robins are more trusting of humans than in Europe. There's old British superstitions that have always stopped us hurting them
I tried this out in my local park a few days ago...Two robins perched on my hand..The next day I had no food for them..They again came to me but just hoovered over my hand and flew off when there was no food.
Robins are delightful … until they get into territorial disputes!
What is the name of this seed?
They are sunflower seeds😃
Can anyone help me out by telling me what bait I can use to catch a robin
so cute
Did you have to wait around long before they finally came to your hand? I've always wanted to do this!
***** No they were straight there. The birds at Tehidy Woods are very confident, not like the birds in my garden.
Paul,
I would end up with 40 to 50 starlings buying my hand off !
A pity because I wish the Robins , Blue Tits , Finches rec are scared off by these pesky ' flying rats ' !
Biting not buying....sorry .
Maravilloso
