September 2011: During the breeding season from April to September, 20 Pekin Robins were raised to independence.

May 2011: NEW DISCOVERY! mealworms can be used to raise broods of pekin robins by coating mealworms once a day with halibut liver oil and then dusting them with crushed calcium tablets. Both products are available for human consumption in drugstores.  Evidently the higher provision of Vitamin D is pivotal for calcium absorption in pekin robins and bearded tits, aside from ensuring that more of the calcium adheres to the insects when fed by the parent birds.
