Tiny Robin Meets Health Worker for Lunch Every Single Day for Over a Year: ‘It’s Crackers!’
A health worker has been getting moral support from a feathered friend who comes to visit him for lunch every day outside the hospital where he works. The bright-colored robin first appeared in December 2019, joining him daily on his chosen park bench ever since.
Richard Coates, 25, works for Royal Victoria Infirmary’s critical care unit in Newcastle, England. Before the robin, whom Coates dubbed “Little Dude,” started joining him, he would spend his 20-minute breaks eating alone on the bench in Leazes Park, opposite the hospital.
