Split from: Fave+Garden+Bird+%28UK%29I have heard of a couple of people with hand tame Robins in their gardens - I would love to try to tame one, but wonder if that would be fair having 2 cats.  I usually buy live meal worms to feed to the Robins in the spring - which I keep in a large plastic container in the garage  LIVE FOODS

No Keith, I think cats eventually learn how to control them - well one cat I had many years ago did.  |

They dont stop my cats at all! Thats why I will probably never have a bird table, its like laying on a buffet for the cats.  |

It you put a bird table in the centre of a lawn, well away from any undergrowth cats can hide in, and/or use very high feeders, the chances of a cat catching birds is greatly reduced. |

I think the birds who visit our garden are VERY aware of our cat as they are always quite nervous. It's such a shame because I'd love a tame rabbit. Last year our blackbird was fairly tame - I almost touched him one day when he was basking in the sun, and he was still aware of me when I was weeding.
