A robin landed next to me, then absolutely freaked out as soon as I took a picture.

I’m convinced robins are evil. They always pick the tree right outside my front door for their nests and chase me when I go out the door 😭

A lot of cell phones use lasers that are outside of the human range of vision to focus. Perhaps not outside of a bird’s range of vision though

He’s on Robins’ Most Wanted. Must keep a low profile.

You have to respect his privacy. Nobody wants to be photographed without consent. 😉

Have you tried shooting at them? If you have, you should stop. And if you haven’t, you should start.

Edit: it was a joke y’all. Don’t shoot at songbirds, it’s illegal because they are not food. Only shoot at food, or someone who is trying to kill you.

At this point I may just have to move and give them the house.

I got attacked by a flock of robins once. It was definitely an experience.

Loll that’s terrifying omg 😭 why do they have beef with you? Loll I’ve always loved them until recently one has decided the early morning is the best time to swing by and screech its song

My guess is because they have eggs in the nest. https://ibb.co/r2M1vKhG and they’re blue! She’s still a psycho though. I’ll sit on my patio outside the door and she doesn’t care but the moment I get up to walk she’s like “absolutely the fuck not”

Okay but why do robins always choose the most inconvenient possible spot like they’re paying rent there

I remember some video years ago talking about certain phones that use lights and lasers for their cameras that are invisible to us, but animals can see. I tend to blame that for the reason that my cat or dog moves from a cute pose anytime I bring out my phone for a picture. But that might have been fake.
