catgate Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 We have had a pair of robins in and about the garden for a couple of years that were very tame and would come for food when I whistled. Their "territory" seemed to have been usurped by young bird, who has not yet got full colouring. Then one day two such birds were there together (well not together in the sense of together...more a case of at the same time, because one chased the other away)I can not differentiate between the two and I wondered about ringing them, but then I realised that neither of them seem to carry a mobile 'phone.I would be grateful for any advice on this matter.

rong Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 You could always shoot one, then you would know that the one left was the other one Edit: make sure you don't shoot the other one as then you wont know which one is left, right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
