Eggs!

Post by Crackpot »

We got a robins nest on our window sill with 4 eggs in it looking forward to watching things progress.

That was my first introduction to bird watching; when I was a wee locita a sparrow, just a sparrow, had built a nest in a shrub next to the railing of our backyard porch. I didn't have to lean over far to see right into the bird's nursery. As the chicks emerged and grew, they didn't know my shadow from thier mother's and so, would open thier beaks wide and beg ME for food... so, I fed them. I wasn't going to catch bugs, so I would put pieces of cherries, on the ends of toothpicks and pop them into those hungry mouths. One day, they were fat, feathered and perched on the edge of the nest; the next they were gone. :cry:

When I was a kid we did find a broken robin, a baby robin with a broken leg. Back then I don't think we had wildlife "rescue" people and if there were, we didn't know about them. We took the bird, put him in a box that had high sides so he couldn't jump out (not that he could as one leg was broken). We put a makeshift splint on the leg (toothpick and some scotch tape) and put a soft towel in the box for the bird to lay on. We tried to feed it worms but it wouldn't eat. Later on we saw mama robin fly into hte box and feed the baby. Everyday the moma came and fed "chirp chirp". Sonn hte leg healed and one day he jumped up on the edge of the box and fly away.

Indeed it is. It's hard not to feel something for robins; they always look directly at people, turn their heads to one side and then the other. They are smart birds and friendly.

Mom won't be gone for long. I see many female and male) robbins in my yard (lots of worms n my soil). They get food, swallow it then go back to the nest and regurgitate to the chicks.

ETA
And if you scare her, she'll probably try and get you to follow her to lead you away from the nest.
I love bird watching
