MOTHER ROBIN IS GETTING TIRED OF FEEDING HER BABY


There were a lot of robins in the yard yesterday.




I was watching these two interact yesterday.  The immature  robins who are still somewhat being fed but can definitely feed themselves- are still after their mothers to feed them.  Mom usually gets tired and you can tell by the way they act.  The "babies" are at them quite a bit and the mom will stop walking away from them and look at them as if to say you're old enough to feed yourself.

  The two types of birds in the yard right now that walk versus hop are robins and Brewer's blackbirds.  Robins take about 7 quick steps and stop - seven or so quick steps and stops....on and on.  Once in awhile I'll see one hop to their destination.
