He doesn't like sunflower seeds that I feed the others but I saw the pair eating old berries off my tree. Do you know what I could put out to feed them?

Birds are beautiful, aren't they? Last night I sat out on my back steps and saw hundreds and hundreds of crows flying southwest. They just kept coming! It was an endless stream, like something out of a movie, and so lovely.

Hey dragon54u. coming from a family that like birds and all sorts of animals, i can definitely say that bird is a robin 100%. When I was a young boy we used to go for bird trapping. Robins are very easily to get trapped since they are very territorial. unfortunately they are very difficult to keep in a cage. And most of them used to die after a few weeks. Then when I grew up I began to appreciate them much more. Educational campaigns informed us not to trap these wonderful birds.

Thank you for identifying it for me! I haven't heard it sing or I would know it was a robin, but then there's no reason for them to sing since they have no babies or eggs to protect. Most of our robins fly south for the winter so I hope these two pairs that I've seen will survive. They are not eating the seed in my feeder so I throw fruit and bread into the alley where my dogs can't get it and I notice that they eat that. They are my favorite bird!

I hope it is, I love robins. It's redder than the others I've seen, though. Thanks for replying!

I feel sorry for the poor little birds. I wanted to put a house out there for them but my dad says they only use birdhouses for nesting. I wonder if that's true?

It does indeed look like a robin to me, although I admit to being no twitcher.
Odd that he'd still be there this time of year, but he looks like he has enough to keep him warm though.

I'm surprised he didn't go to the bird feeder or the suet I have out there. I hope he'll stay, robins are my favorite bird!

I don't know how cold Ohio gets in winter, but I thought that robins were fine with colder weather. They're a feature of the British winter, after all.
We have several who follow us around the garden. Though robins are territorial birds, I think my garden intersects several territories.
