Most wild birds scavenge for scraps wherever and whenever they can. But in Terry Quinn's garden, mealtimes are a more orderly affair. Every day, he rings a bell to signify dinner is served. A robin duly appears, then swoops down on his outstretched palm and snaffles a beakful of succulent mealworms. Mr Quinn, 70, said: "It gives me a real thrill. There is something special about having normally wild and timid birds trusting enough to land on your hand to feed."
