I have encountered statements that fruit-eating can be reduced by providing birds with drinking water, but I've never encountered a report of an objective test.

About robins, I have to wonder if they aren't seeking moisture. I never see
them at the bird-baths, but then I don't watch all day. I wonder if when
they can't get enough juicey earthworms, cutworms, grubs, etc., then they
must feed on juicey berries. Any bird watchers on the list who know about
this?
