@WanderingRavens 4 года назад

Brave soul indeed!

@MikeRees 4 года назад

Interestingly this is probably on the path to being an evolutionary trait for them. It's definitely learned behaviour at the moment (it's very UK specific as we don't tend to trap small birds) but it brings such advantages that it could result in speciation down the line from continental European Robins.

@markrichardson3421 4 года назад

I used to have one that would follow me around the garden as i was weeding waiting for worms. It used to just sit there about 12 inches away. No hint of fear at all.

@stevebarlow3154 4 года назад

@@WanderingRavens The British Robin is now regarded as a sub-species of the European Robin. The continental Robin is a shy bird of the deep forest. In contrast the British Robin has evolved to benefit from human activities such as gardening. It probably also helps that the UK is generally a nation of animal lovers and we don't trap or shoot small birds, as some European countries do.

@trinafh8283 4 года назад

In the 1980s I lived in the Staffordshire moors and travelled to work in Leek (from a village called Waterhouses) English naming, huh! Not far from Alton Towers, people. In the winter my journey took me above the snow line and I was in tractor tracks this particular morning. I had to move into the drift to avoid a sheep, only for it to stand up tall and hop away. Now I had a standing reputation for being late for work - a few minutes here and there being the nature of my last-minute mindset in those days. This particular morning I had *that* short dialogue with my boss. When I told him I'd been held up by a kangaroo (actually a wallaby) he laughed so much he nearly spilt his tea. He said my tardiness was worth some of the stories and that was the best yet.

Look, I'm not one to perpetuate the "dumb American Tourist" trope, but I did speak to one at length when I worked for a cottage holiday company. I was supervising the sales team when one of them called me over. An angry American lady wanted to book a holiday in the town where the salad dressing, mayo came from. Now, our company only had properties in the UK and Ireland and our salesperson had explained that mayonnaise came from France. After much discussion, the irate customer wanted to talk to a supervisor to complain about the "dumb sales person". Turns out she thought that mayo was a different dressing to mayonnaise and that it originated somewhere in county Mayo, Ireland, though she didn't know the specific town. No amount of explanation could convince her that she was wrong, so I pointed her to a lovely property in Cong, Co.Mayo that was advertised in the brochure of one of our rivals. I gave her the phone number and she went away happy.

Tony Casey I once worked in large country pub that was originally a Manor House. We were on a bit of a tourist trail and were used to rather odd questions from tourists, especially the American ones. One day I was chatting to a Texan man who had left the state for the first time in his life purely to keep his wife happy with a trip to England. I explained that the building had been turned into a pub a few years earlier having been a school before that. Fascinated and astonished he asked me "but how did they make it look so old?" I told him that they didn't, it looked like new when it was constructed. In the 1550's.

@johanelkerton5460 4 года назад

Yay, I learned some new animals today! :-) The Robin Red Breast is actually known as the Gardeners Friend as they are one of the few birds NOT to migrate during the winter, and they tend to stay in the same nest (My dads garden has a breeding pair anyhoo, that appears to be in the same nest every year, using his garden as their own little bog D'amour...) therefore they get used to the outdoor humans and will come and sit with them while they work... especially as their human may unearth tasty worms for them while digging! While I've never seen a robin aggressive to a human (yet) I've seen them attack other birds in the garden when they have an active nest on the go. We also see friendly robins as a sign of the spirit of a loved one popping by to say hello! Speaking of escaped animals, as well as the wallaby there are a number of big cats rumoured to be living and breeding in the wild. Big cats used to be legal pets (My dad had a sandy coloured puma until he went to live & work at the cement works) but due to a change in legislation they were made illegal pets. If people weren't able to find a zoo to take them in i presume they would be put down... which maybe the reason a large number of owners chose to release their big cats into the wild. The beast of Bodmin Moors is a famous example. There is also rumoured to be a big black cat that stalks the entire length of the abandoned railway track that runs past the outskirts of my village near Rugby. I'm keeping my eyes peeled! :-) Sammy xXx

@MrFlazz99 3 года назад

The robin - a charming little bird. Territorial is one way to think of them, but another way is to consider that you probably have a friendly robin who pops into your garden all the time (especially during winter) and they learn to recognise their local humans. Often I've been standing in my kitchen and when I look out of the window THERE is my local robin sitting in the rose tree outside and looking back at me. The message is clear - 'I am here, I can see you, this is a tree, where are the nuts?' It's no surprise that they're so well-regarded in Britain - you know you're on the map for the local wildlife when you have a robin coming to check up on you.

The robins were never aggressive, my mother still lives in the same house and still sees the robin who comes to the kitchen window and taps it with his beak to get her attention. Sounds unbelievable but I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

@pabmusic1 4 года назад

"Eggplant" was already known in Britain when the early colonists settled in America. The plant was relatively new to the British, who got it from the Middle East (hence the name aubergine, which is Arabic through French). But the early varieties had small, egg-shaped white/cream fruits, which looked like eggs.

Roe deer - a common cause of road accidents. My brother collided with one on his motorbike once. I've never heard of robins begging aggressive to humans, only other male robins.

We have a variety of tits in the UK - I don't know if any of them exist in the USA. On my bird table, I regularly see blue tits, great tits and coal tits. Great tits are often mistaken for blue tits but as the name suggests they are larger and have a different pattern of marking around the face. Robins are indeed ferocious and will clear any other birds from the bird feeder - I have even seen one chase away a magpie. Some robins will be bold enough to take food from the palm of your hand, perching on your fingers. Once they have done this, every time they see you they will perch nearby and loudly 'demand' to be fed.

Robins are fabulous birds, brave and cheeky. They will hop around your feet as you garden waiting for the worms to appear. Very territorial, singing intricate songs from the top of trees in their area to warn off intruders.

@GenialHarryGrout 4 года назад

Blue Tits used to have a bad reputation of pecking holes in the tops of milk bottles to get at the milk. This all changed when milk delivery in bottles became more or less obsolete and people bought milk for their tea from the supermarket. A couple of animals you missed both come from the same family. The first is the Chav. This cute little creature can be found mainly around Manchester, Liverpool and parts of Essex. The second is only found in Scotland and is called a Ned. Both of these creatures are usually found in groups and can be loud, especially if approach at which point they can become aggressive. It is rare to find Chavs and Neds together, this can usually lead to more aggressive behaviour. Attempts have been made to rid the UK of these creatures but they fast breeding habits makes eradication of these creatures impossible.

@frogandspanner 3 года назад

What most people do not realise is that the Haggis is actually an inverted sheep. The sheep is soaked in water, rolled in oats, then a hand is placed in the animal's mouth, passed down the gut, the tail is grabbed, and pulled hard. And there you are: Haggis. Scottish oat cuisine.

He just sat their and caught a ride for quite a while as we walked through the forest lol!

Mostly found in and around the London area, and are sometimes employed by Transport for London to work on the Underground and the Overground, they're contracted as Wombling Free-lancers.. They're not so common in Wimbledon now though. They went a bit quiet after having to recover so many tennis balls from over the fence. Now the Clangers on the other hand...

North American White Tail Deer also change color from winter to summer.

Maybe you should do a video on *British livestock* ? Examples: Southdown sheep, Hereford cattle, Jersey cows, Sussex chickens, Aberdeen Angus cattle, Swaledale sheep, Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs to name just a very few.

😂😂😂😂 brilliant guys! ah Wombles - that take me back to my youth... you missed out 'the beast of bodmin' tho, and the dreaded carnivorous rhubarb scarily stalkung its prey in the darkened huts of West Yorks!!! 😱😱😱. As for Robins, they are bold little creatures - i had one in my gard that would come and take worms out of my hand while i was gardening. sadly this was before the asvent of camera phones, so i dont have any pics... and I have seen American Robins... in America, surprisingly! Central Park in New York specifically... and my thoughts were... oh - they have Robins here! 😂😁👍

We've had a pair of pigeons in our garden for several years - we call them the Fat Pigeons - and when they start arguing - which they do all the time - our resident robin shouts at them to keep the noise down.

Your gallon (and therefore pints) and billion are both smaller than the British equivalent.

@shellieeyre8758 3 года назад

yes, a US pint is only 75% of a UK pint.

@landyandy270 3 года назад

A US pint is 16 fl ozs compared with an imperial pint at 20 fl ozs. So it is 80%.

Could I suggest you find a recording of the Album "Captain Beaky " : a fantastic tongue in cheek musical treat from the 1970's. It is great fun, and includes a song a bout the Haggis hunting season. Enjoy

There's loads of wallabies on the isle of man! It's a really stable population. When I go for a walk back home I see them all the time! (The isle of Man can be considered part of Britian although not the UK)

Robins are very territorial. They don’t attack lol. But if you’re around for Christmas and not living in France. A robin sat on a spade is a very traditional Christmas card for a reason.

@WanderingRavens 4 года назад

Come to think of it, I actually think we have those Christmas cards in the States too. Though I never connected the dots that those were European robins before haha

@Submarine_2010 4 года назад

All this talk of birds! I was woken at about 7am this morning by a little brown bird flying around my bedroom! My door and windows were shut all night so it must have come in before that, although my windows were shut all day the day before. However, I do wonder if my cat bought it in in the day and somehow it got trapped and fell asleep in my room. Who knows! Anyway that was a funny experience that I’ve never had before and will probably never have again! True story. Fact.

@somerandomperson1825 4 года назад

An introduced species, not native to the UK.

@stuartjamesanderson9656 4 года назад

There's also a wild population of wallabies on the island of Inchconnachan on Loch Lomond. They're a left over population from an old Victorian state home that had them as ornamental pets. The family is long gone, but the wallabies are still there.
