Ok , I have in the last several years, gotten closer to robins, than any other time in my life. Both times was when Im using my metal detector in the early spring. Do you think the activity stirs up the worms or something in the penetrating electronics stirs them up or draws the birds. Anyone else ever experience this? I can get probably 4 feet away and they just dont take off, Just keep going about their business. One thing Ill say is both times it was after Id been there swinging for several hours- do you think they watch from afar and figure im just no threat so they encroach cautiously towards me? CO

Could be...I have noticed when I'm stabbing for a coin with a screwdriver, worms come boiling up out of the ground, Didn't know if it was the pinpoint signal, or the probe making that happen. I started carrying a baggie in my pouch and putting the worms in there, then dumping them out at my truck in a worm box.
Birds are smart, so maybe it is a matter of them taking advantage of a situation, sort of like seagulls do when a guy is trying to chum?

Osgood,next time a robin is close start sratching around in the soil with your hand.....this will get the robin very interested.If you can dig up a worm while you are disturbing the ground,hold it at arms length so the robin can see it.Many robins are bold enough to come and collect the worm from your hand.

My guess is that you are moving slow and in a non-threatening manner. As a hunter I was taught never to make eye contact with your prey and to move "at the pace of the woods" which is of course slow and cautious. Any animal or human moving fast alerts the wildlife to be aware of possible danger.
