Meet Sruffy

[mark1000]

Hi Guys,

I'd like you all to meet Scruffy, this little guy/gal,( not sure about the gender ) lived in and around my garden for the last 15 months or so. ( passed away now though) and fed right out of my hands, took a few days to get that far with him, needed the the right food ( meal worms ) but after that he/she would come right in the house looking for the worms and even sing for them.

Anyway i just wanted to share this with you.

Hi Amy, it's a feather cyst, very common in uk robins, it dont do them any harm at all.

Great shots of that raggedy little guy! It must have been a real buzz to shoot them.

Were the meal worms fresh or dried (alive or dead)?

Hi Paul,

the meal worms were alive and kicking, ( masters of escape), Scruffy didn't like dead ones, mind you they didn't last long enough to die in the box. I fed him/her for about 10 weeks or so while it was raising it's youngsters.

Wow Marko, these are very cool. I love the one where Sruffy (or is that suppose to be Scruffy?) is standing on the hand. I would be thrilled with these shots, but even more thrilled to have made a friend like Sruffy. Thanks for sharing.
