This cheeky Burnaby blueberry thief was caught red-handed

When you have fruit growing in your backyard, you get all kinds of visitors.

When you have fruit growing in your backyard, you get all kinds of visitors.

We had apples and pears growing in our backyard when I was a kid in North Burnaby and I spotted everyone from humans to racoons sneaking onto our property to pick them off the tree or the ground.

The fruit thieves who visit Glen Govier’s home to dine on his blueberries are much smaller. They are robins and he captured the frame-by-frame thievery that happened this week.

Just scroll through to see a blueberry go down the hatch of one robin in particular.

That’s good eating.
