Robins are lovely to see in gardens across the UK. Many people like seeing them because they think robins are a sign that loved ones who have passed away are near.

Seeing robins can make people happy, but a wildlife hospital is warning about something that could hurt these birds. A hospital is asking people to stop using glue traps because they can kill robins.

A wildlife hospital said, 'Another animal got hurt by a glue trap...'

Glue traps are tools used to catch mice and other small animals. They have strong glue that does not dry.

These traps are cheap, but they hurt animals very badly.

Some pictures may be upsetting to look at...

Even though glue traps are banned in some places, animals still get stuck to them. The hospital sees birds, reptiles, and even foxes getting stuck.

A robin got stuck to a glue trap and was very weak. It lost some feathers trying to get away.

Luckily, the hospital had a special spray to help the robin. The robin is now getting better.

The hospital is asking people not to use glue traps because they hurt animals. Nothing deserves to get stuck like this.

A picture shows a robin stuck to a glue trap, looking up at the people who helped it.

The robin got better, which made people happy. It lost some feathers but survived.

One person said, 'These traps should be banned everywhere, not just in Scotland.'

A woman said, 'These traps are supposed to be banned in England, but people can still buy them online.'

A company that helps animals said, 'We are sad to see animals hurt, but we are happy to help the hospital save them.'

The company is glad their product helped the robin. They hope the robin will be okay and not get hurt again.

One person said, 'Sticky fly papers can also hurt animals, especially swallows.'

Someone said, 'Thank you for helping the robin. Why are these bad traps still sold?'

Another person said, 'To stop rats and mice, block all the holes they can get in through. Keep trash closed and tidy. If they can't get in, they won't be a problem.'
