Actually, yes. Unfortunately, the best advice is to let nature do its work at this point. The mother has now abandoned the babies and the nest and the chicks will die unless you are willing to take them in and set up a proper nesting environment for them and be able to feed them (worms, small bugs) at least every hour. I've worked with birds almost my whole life and have seen this happen many times.
However, if you contact your local wildlife rehabilitation center (most places have something similar), they can give you advice on proper care and feeding. If you can contact someone, I would recommend doing so ASAP as time is of the essence. -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 9:13 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Baby Robins A robin built a nest by our front door, the eggs hatched, and the mama was feeding the babies for a few days but then the nest fell onto some landscaping rocks. One of the birds died right away, but I took the other 3 and made a makeshift nest out of the bottom of a milk jug lined with some dish towels. I zip-tied the nest back into place and the mama came back and tended the nest all night, but another died during the night and the mama must've pulled it out because it was on our sidewalk this morning. I looked in on the other 2 and they're breathing, but not awake - it doesn't look like they'll make it because I'd think they'd be awake begging for food. Anybody have any robin experience? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:160280 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
