Well from the name of this robin you are probably trying to guess what it is. Usually the first few people don’t have a very good variety of seeds to choose from like the people near the end of the flight. So with this you are playing with two robins.
This is how it will work there will be two robins. Let’s say robin A and B. Usually when the robin gets to the last person on the list it is then sent back to the person that started it, that is where this one will change a little bit.
Lets say you are the last person on the list for robin A instead of the robin coming back to me it will be sent to the first person that was on robin B list they will be getting a full robin to trade with. If you was on robin list B you would also get robin A when it has made it’s rounds.
Example of robin A flight :
1. Bill
2. Kim
3. Jane
4. Tom
5. Lisa
6. Sally
7. Becky
8. Lynne
9. Sandra (Sandra is getting robin A now)
10. Kelly
11. Barbara
12. Joe
13. Carla
14. Amanda
15. Rick
16. John
Example of flight, robin B:
1. Sandra
2. Kelly
3. Barbara
4. Joe
5. Carla
6. Amanda
7. Rick
8. John
9. Bill (Bill is getting B now)
10. Kim
11. Jane
12. Tom
13. Lisa
14. Sally
15. Becky
16. Lynne
I would like to give this a try if we can get enough people to join. I would like to have no more than eight people per robin that way it would not take so long to get back, and sent on the other route.
Maybe you can under stand what I am talking about...
Just remember with this you will be getting two robins you will get A and B at some point.

Do you have room for me? I have some neat stuff, too. Let me know & thanks. Buttoneer
Sounds fun, may I join?
Laurrie
Count me in.
I guess I need to post the rules, they are the basic ones.
1. You take what you want from the package and replace it with an equal amount or value of seeds. So if you want to exchange 2 packets you can or if you want to exchange 20 packets you can. It is your choice. If you have extra seeds you can put them in there as well.
2. Post here when you get it and mail it out so we can keep track of it.
3. If for some reason you can not mail it out quickly just let me know.
Here are the routes for the two robins as it stands right now.

Terre,
can you post that you got the Robin? I sent it to you on the 8th & you should have it by now.
Just got the Robin Monday, and will go out later today.
txflowerlover, has the robin got to you yet?
It seems that it is hard to keep track of the Robins. I would like to ask everyone when they mail them to get delivery confirmation, if possible. http://usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm?from=home&page=0035trackandconfirm
Thanks,
Bill
