[TN-Bird] Smart Robin

I have a blue bird box with four eggs and a mama bird on it.  I feed meal worms 
every morning.  I also have a robin nest not too far away with four BIG babies 
in it and they cherp all the time.  I had noticed the blue birds were eating 
the worms very quickly.  Then yesterday I turned around just in time to see the 
mama robin gathering the worms in her beak!  I grabbed a stick and waved it at 
her and she grabbed more worms and flew to her nest.  The blue birds finally 
got a worm or two but the robin  tried to run them off the top of the box  
where I had placed the worms.  I just hoped nobody was watchiing the "crazy 
woman" chasing a robin with a stick.  Later I went to the box but had  no worms 
and she appeared immediately which just proves she was watching me!
