I actually put up a nesting box a little off from my door, under the shade and with overhand from the rain, and she nesting there this year. Does anyone know what happens to fledglings when they leave the nest. I was lucky enough to see one robin fledge and it fluttered into a Bush. The parents are still around and the female is even preparing the nest for a second brood but do the fledglings fly off to other gardens? Hi Jackie! Once the babies fledge, their parents feed them for a few days.
We have a nest on our deck. There were three eggs that all hatched. We left town when they were 8 days old. We came home when they were 13 days old and there is only one left in the nest. He has been there for several hours, with mom and dad both close by and periodically coming to the nest.
Is it likely the other two have already fledged, or do they always leave at the same time? My predator cat must have emptied a local robin nest last night. I heard an almighty squak from the back garden, only to go out and find 3 dead baby robins and one barely alive.
Rescued the live one and bought it in, seems to be fine today, even tho i was unsure she would last the night. Woke up at dawn to hear her squaking like mad so proceeded to go outside and catch a few worms.
For a baby thats had no interaction with humans before now, shes allowing me to feed and water her. She actually tips her head back when she sees my hand reach into the cage now. Im hoping to be able to handrear until shes strong enough then let her go. Cheryl, We raised a 2 day old robin I did call he rangers office I was living in PA at the time and he told me to leave it, it was against the law to hand raise it and that I could go to jail.
Oh well, he would have to find me first! He did extremely well and after he grew up he would come to our deck every season. It was a great experience for my children. My gram always raised birds or other creatures if they needed assistance. Yes, ours often return to the same nest for the 2nd and 3rd brood of the season, Judith.
This year, we thought she was going to, as she came back and sat in the nest several times when she was preparing for her 2nd brood, but I think the temperature up under the roof of the deck was too hot, so she built another nest in a nearby bush and instead.
Hi , so enjoyed your pics. Until yesterday we had two Robins nesting in our shed, lots of activity coming and going with food. Today there is no sign of any of the Robins, it seems early for them to have hatched and flown the nest. What do you think? Hi Jackie, For the first time in my 71 years am I experiencing the miracles of nest building and mama robin sitting on 4 beauitiful blue eggs.
She built the nest in the ceiling rafter of my small back porch. It is all hers. I do not sit out there, I do not use my hammock, and I do not use the porch to go downstairs to my garage. While mama was gone for a few minutes my tall son pulled himself up, saw the miraculous blue eggs and took a photo, I put a ladder on the other end of the small porch because I would like to see the process of the babies hatching and try to take photos the way you did. Mama was sitting on a big tree across from my porch and made very loud noises for us to disappear, which we did immediately.
I speak to her gently through a glass door. I hope she will allow me to climb up the ladder. Another questions is, since the nest is on the porch, if babies fall, they will fall on the porch floor, no grass, no branches.
What shall I do? Their nests are also carefully built in order for the parents to safeguard the eggs. Robins are mostly disturbed by predators because they are little creatures enough to be eaten by another bird.
Wild birds often feed on each other like an eagle. The growth of a robin is gradual. After they are hatched, the birds grow feathers as well as Robins, but Robins grow feathers in fairly quickly.
When birds grow feathers, it makes them look a bit big and fluffy. Birds search for good places to make their nest also considering how well they can get something to eat plus where predators cannot reach easily. Robin babies leave the nest after weeks in the nest, then they can set out to get food to eat. Giving a bird dog food is not advisable. Robins are omnivorous birds, just like humans they need food to survive.
