These robins have a new family to take care of - and they share their jobs so nicely.
These robins have two newly-hatched chicks and two eggs that should be hatching soon. It's heartwarming to see how hard they work to feed the tiny hatchlings and keep them warm whilst also brooding the eggs.
Dad's blunder
But when mum briefly goes out to stretch her wings and hunt, the male arrives with a spider far too big for the hours-old chicks to swallow. Thankfully the meal doesn't go to waste. Watch as the female returns to settle on her brood. At first the spider startles her, but she soon gobbles it up. It's amazing to get such a fascinating insight into these iconic little birds.
