Why thank you!



LOL


No pictures, but I was walking by a small tree today, and aside from the usual sparrow chirping, I heard a call I associate with American robins. Well, wouldn't you know it, one was right there, closest I've ever been to one. I said "hi", it turned its back on me in disgust. Such is life.

I moved from England to the US twelve years ago and I miss European robins so much.



They're adorable little borbs and super curious about humans. They're especially fond of people gardening and like to hang about to grab any earthworms that get turned up when you're digging.



They'll even let you hand feed them! Totally wild robins will just hop on over and take seed straight from your hand.

I miss these friendly little fluffballs. :kimchi:

I can't believe they share a name with the noisy, obnoxious American sort.

But I bet people in the UK feel that about a lot of American things.

Yeah not gonna lie, American robins are a major disappointment after growing up with these fluffs.

Are cardinals any comfort? I know the starlings are neither here nor there.

I ran into this random anime short on Youtube, and I figured y'all might get a kick out of it:
