Brooklyn's National League ball club was called the Robins back before the name Dodgers emerged.

we've had robins for years eating at these feeders.......mom's feeding their babies. We used to say that our feeders were like the drive thrus for robins. Just wondering if there is anything we could do, outside keep filling it up.

I've been trying to attract orioles for three years now with jam and oranges. We have tons of Robins, but they don't touch the jam. The catbirds on the other hand... Orioles have arrived but still not interested in the feeder.
