Yes, those are valid points, but the combination of the original nest falling, a new nest being constructed (that smells incredibly human), the death of two chicks, and the regular presence of humans has almost certainly scared the mother off. I'm not saying it's 100%, but very high, nonetheless.

This keeps them from being alerted to the presence of their young. They also say that robins find their young by site and sounds not smell - so it was ok for gruss to put the nest back ... In the Kathy's Critter website she said the rehabilitation center fead the babies moistened dog food. -------------------------------------------------- ##| -----Original Message----- ##| From: Steven Brownlee ##| ##| 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:5:160284 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=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
