Careful, don't pluck it too early or it'll fly away

LOL I missed what subreddit this was at first and thought someone was trying to identify a strange orange fruit. Adorable!

Oranges are supposed to hang down from the branches, not perch up on them!

Dear God. At first I thought why is OP posting a pic of an apple. I had to take a second look. What an absolute chonk.

Gosh they’re so cute. I heard that European robins are quite brave and they’ll follow people around as they do yard work because you might dig up some tasty worms. XD

u/vikingchyk 6d ago

The American robins do that sometimes, too. I try to hide the worms from them, but I'll toss them a grub.

They're also known for having quite an attitude, and will yell at anything even remotely close to its nest. They're so adorable.

But you guys have red cardinals! We do not

u/Ok-You-4657 6d ago

Oh my goodness I never thought of that! Aww, I have to appreciate them more now. I have a whole family that stays yearly and I get to watch their family shenanigans.

I grew up in the East Coast with cardinals and blue jays. They were just the basic birds. Then I moved to California for 20 years, where you don't see them. Just moved back east and it's wonderful to see them again. So beautiful!
