you really can't care for them, unfortunately. they are meat eaters. best chance for survival is getting them to a nature conservatory. if you have touched them, chances are that no other Robin will come and take care of them. sad, but true.

when I was a teenager(13-15) my friend and I found a baby crow on the ground,he was really small ..We cared for it the whole summer feeding it canned dog food with a spoon..He got really large and really loyal(but he always lived in the back yard)For the next couple years "Blacky"always came around and would land on both of our arms..(with a glove we made,He seen the glove and came right over lol)

Well for the next couple years my parents and the neighbors hated us because they had a crow making noise all day every day in the same tree lol..After a few seasons we never seen him again..

But Kat is right..most of the time handling wild baby birds is a death sentence..

They were found in a trailer being used for clearing out brush and a couple smaller ash and hawthorne trees they were doomed from that point but I couldnt just toss them into the pile, they havent been handled other than the nest itself as a whole, I purchased some formula thats called complete baby bird from petco, until I find a better alternative theyll be carted to and from work and cared for as best as I can I just dont feel I have the appropriate amount of time for baby birds, a reef tank, a puppy, a house with a huge lawn, and a girlfriend all while pulling 60-70 hour weeks at work, last two weeks in a row I had consecutive 95 hour weeks, things are slowing a bit now, but still at the very least ill be there for 60. I am gonna give it the old college try though!

Only 95 hours? Can't really help you, but good luck with them.

 

[reefboarder]

Yeah only 95 this year it was an easy start up every thing went well, now were reclaiming usable land and cheering the place up a bit. We miss you homeboy! I need to get my watch from ur house It stinks always having to look at my phone for the time

how goes the Robin sitting?

 

[reefboarder]

:spin3:They are doing well, feeding several times daily they seem to be taking to me. Now just need to figure out a better living arrangement for them mainly but something easier for me to clean, I am no momma bird so nest housekeeping isnt one of my things.:spin3:

 

[superkat]

whatcha need for living arrangement? I don't have the time to add to my already HUGE plate of responsibilities...but I DO have an aviary...and therefore...LOTS of cages.

great news I know what you mean about housekeeping,I used to rescue parrots..They are messy critters..

If you intend on letting them be wild again,I suggest you try what people do that rescue eagles..find a bird puppet or stuffed animal (some just use a beak looking thing on a stick lol)and feed them in a shadow box..If they do live,they will need to learn these skill for their own young..
