They think humans are wildebeests which churned up the land revealing grubs and things, that's why they follow gardeners.

I had a friendly female blackbird who used to land at my feet whenever I went outside and she used to come right up to my kitchen window and look in as if to say where's my food ! I loved her and was really sad when she didn't turn up one day and I never saw her again. I also have a little robin that lands at my feet too !
I have a bird table about 3 foot from my conservatory door and sit and have breckie while looking out every morning for at least an hour.
i put out mixed bird seed, porridge too, and before I close the door, the robin is there, helping himself while keep looking up as much as to say, many thanks Mum haha. We only have one robin so I pray he doesnt vanish and not come back! Great little birds. (loads of sparrows too)
