there have been flocks of robins in the local parks and river trails all winter even with the above normal snowfall and cold cold temps. but this is the first one in my backyard so far and he was really enjoying the apples i had tossed out that were getting wrinkles

Would it make any difference if the apple is quartered or should it be whole?

i don't know i still have part of a bucket of apples left and have been throwing them out in the yard a few at a time whole and the magpies and jays or the deer get most of them but the robin came every hour or so and got a fill before the others got them all. this one never got up on the platform or the hopper one with a tray under it. other years some robins or bluebirds would try the feeders and i would put raisens or cramberrys or fuit in pieces for birds and the grosbeaks tried them too

Thanks. I have some apples I got to give to my horse, but I think he will understand if I try one for the birds!!

Well, I ate some of the apple, but threw the core out by the bird feeders. :)
I'll see if it's there in the morning. Of course, who knows what night critters might like apples too. Also my schnauzer enjoyed a little bit of it as well.
