How do Robins find worms?

By sight

I thought they can hear them move. That, and they have very sharp eyes.

Thanks for the link AstroChuck.

I think so too, Snowberry. Thanks.:)

Robins and other birds, cock their head sideways to hear better when they’re standing on soil.

@YoH

You said cock. LOL…

I noticed Robins do cock their head sideways and zero in on the target right before the tug.

Thank you.

@AstroChuck Thanks for the link and the answer. @azlotto Thanks for the great question. I have always wondered about that too.

They only tell the first half of a knock-knock joke & wont tell the punchline unless the worm comes up to hear it. Thats also how I get my dog to come back inside after each potty break.

@ETpro Thanks.

@rpmpseudonym…LOL…Wild and crazy birds… ; )

@azlotto Yes I did say cock. Maybe that’s not a recognisable usage of the word for everyone? I live with a cock (male) rooster – so maybe I’m a little doodled :) ~YoWelcome

Thanks

@YoH…Have fun and enjoy life…I do…LOL

@azlotto Absolutely!!! lol

You rock YoH

@azlotto Back at ya! :)

Do you like pickled eggs, and r u a female?...What kind of a strange question is that?

The same way middle aged divorcees find a penis,stealth.

I notice that they stand at the edge of my garden while I till it. It saves them a lot of work if I dig them up. It feels a little funny though; like I am the morning’s entertainment.

If I am not around, they feel the worm’s movements with their feet and I expect that they hear and see the too. I know that the have no trouble seeing them after I loosen the soil.

@ucme…lol…This is true…Thanks for your reply.

@Ron_C…Opportunistic animals they are…Thanks for your reply.

@azlotto I noticed that the robins around my house look exceptionally fat.

@Ron_C…Yup…same here, it’s like they got big beer guts.
