Robin Fat Balls

Bubble16

Hi, I saw on a thread earlier someone suggested wrapping a fat ball to look like a robin, which I thought was a brilliant idea but now can't find any reference to it. Anyone know where I can look? Thank you

Haven't seen it but what a lovely idea:j

Nearest I've got to doing anything like that was last year when I used some small seed pots, filled them with birdseed, popped little robin on the top with some holly (sort you get from cake decorating shops) and that was Robins Christmas Breakfast.....:)

Bubble - so intrigued by your fat ball idea.........found this by googling.....not strictly speaking a robin but maybe could be altered somehow ?

Only other thing I found was making fat balls yourself in yoghurt pots and paint a robin on them before you hang them up.
