No! My robins love the fat balls in one of those feeders you attach to the windows. When i moved them I watched the birds come and look and try to work out what had changed. Some got it straight away and others took ages and had to go away and come back to try again.

One of my simple pleasures is watching the birds in the garden

Two robins on my feeders this am, an adult and a juvenile. The youngster begged for feeding but the adult ignored it and flew down to feed another. The juvenile then decided to try it itself. Unfortunately it tried to peck at the top of the feeder which was empty. After a few goes with no reward it flew off.
Have you ever seen a disgruntled robin?
