Bobby Robin

Meet Bobby the Robin Red Breast, the fourth in my British Birds Series.

Robins are my favourite bird and a very good friend of mine. I am a gardener and tree surgeon so I'm lucky to have frequent visits from these friendly little fellas, especially when I'm digging. I love their song and the way they land on my garden tools. One actually landed on my foot recently. They are the friendliest bird around and are rewarded for it by me with plenty of worms :-)

Bobby is quite a fat Robin after all the worms I've been feeding him.

For more pictures and detail, take a look on MOCpages www.mocpages.com/moc.php/321764#reviews

I plan to build many more birds as I very much enjoy building them. Keep your eyes to the sky.

Please support me to help these birds spread their wings, there is a chance these could be available to purchase as official LEGO sets if I get 10,000 supporters, follow the link and click support.

    Adorable... This one is the cutest of the series so far!
    I especially love the top left picture

    Ps it's also a good idea to add one bigger picture and only a few smaller ones instead of a dozen of small pictures! :)

    Totally awesome !

    I swear they're not friendly - according to The One Show they're really territorial and don't get on with other robins :) Great model!

    Cute!

  12. DeTomaso77 (13 months ago | reply)

    No they're not friendly when it comes to territory, I've seen and heard them fight and it's not pleasant, Kingfishers are the same. Sometimes to the death. But thankfully they've never attacked me lol

    How about putting on cussoo? What a great idea for a theme. (And no licence, guns, sex, booze, religion etc etc)

    I love this one, and also your other birds. I would love to see instructions and/or a partlist for this build! Maybe you should put it up on Cuusoo?

    As I said on MOCpages; I really like your birdlings. This one is among your best ones. Congrats on the blogging ;-)

  40. DeTomaso77 (12 months ago | reply)

    Thank you Henrik, you are doing great things with your motors too. I cannot wait to see where you're putting them, are you building another scene like the beautiful one with the art deco garage? I really hope so, that was fantastic!
