Robin and Fiskars ax is one of my favorite bird photos. You may think why! There are two things in the picture that I love: delightful bird and worldwide famous Finnish brand.
Robin (Erithacus rubecula, punarinta)
Robin is such a hilarious bird. Its appearance is round and its chest is beautifully rusty. Robin arrives in Finland beginning of April and usually it can be found somewhere in a shrub or standing in an ax!
I have photographed these photos in April 2019 at the time when we were building our cottage in Lohja. Robin was watching our firewood chopping and while I had some brake he decided to try my ax too. Luckily I had my camera in the car and robin had time for a pose.
He returned this spring and was singing very loudly in the forest until midsummer. I have seen him around our yard quite often this summer and I hope he will return also next year.
If you are interested to listen its sing, here is a link to the page where you can hear it: LINK. If you are interested in Fiskars you can read more about it in my previous post My favorite village, Fiskars.

I miss those little robins. Here robins are big birds. Still, I love them all. Fiskars is good too!

I think Fiskars should pay him well, they have snatched his color. One great shot Minna!

Thank you very much! I agree Hans, Fiskars has copied robins colors 😊 I was wondering if I should sell this photo to Fiskars 😂

Our robins are more elongated and bigger, but they are clearly related. The axe and robin are wearing matching colours. 🙂 I think it’s a good idea to try to sell the picture to them.

Your robin is bigger than ours, I just checked from Google. I agree they are related, they are standing alike 😊. I will contact Fiskars 😂

Such a pretty bird! Fiskars might like your photo for advertising.
I didn’t know Fiskars made axes. Besides some scissors I also have a Fiskars
plant and stem trimmer. If I ever need an ax I now know which one to buy 😀

Fiskars has had even boats but they sold that business to China😏 They manufacture also tableware and they own many brands like Iittala (glass ware). I love to visit their shops👍, usually it means that my wallet is thinner when I leave the shop 😂

Your Robin and the ax were meant to be photographed together, they match perfectly in color! 😉 We love Fiskars products, have several gardening tools and of course many scissors!
