Households have been warned not to fall foul of common mistakes and pitfalls it's easy to make at this time of year
As the festive season fades and the chilly weather persists, UK residents are being offered essential advice on how to care for robins that may visit their gardens. These red-breasted birds, synonymous with Christmas cards and winter scenes, are a delightful sight, but experts caution against making easily avoidable errors when trying to help them, reports Birmingham Live.
The guidance continues, explaining robins' dietary habits: "Robins will feed on any berries that remain on bushes and vines. When they can get them, robins will snack on insects and worms. Standard bird seed does not seem to attract them, as these birds prefer a varietal diet of live insects and fruit."
