The world's friendliest Robin

Bird lover Dennis Bright has become a real life Dr Doolittle by taming this plucky Robin so it dares to land on his chin - and eat a worm from his mouth.

Dennis, who has been a wildlife photographer for 20 years, says Robins are naturally tame birds and can be tempted by a free feed of mealworm.



He said: "Taming a Robin is actually quite simple - anyone can do it. The secret is that they will sell their soul for a mealworm!"

"And talking to them really helps too - I use simple, common phrases like, 'come on cheeky'. This particular Robin has been in my garden for four years. He comes into my house during the day and never flies away when I feed him."
