American Robin's nest (AKA Robin Red Breast), eggs, and babies

[@jayphilipwilliams]

In response to several of you who ridiculed me for thinking there were two mothers, with many species of animals, the male and female are quite distinct: seagulls and ducks, for example, with the male being very colorful. This is not the case with Robins, I have since learned. The males and females look very similar. Additionally, many animals work in teams, so it wasn't unreasonable for me to think that multiple females might work together to raise the young.

We had a nest raided by squirrels. Mommy showed up to find them all plucked from their nest lying on the ground... it was so heartbreaking. We've had 5 broods on our porch in the past 3 years. We've learned what we can do and we've done everything to deter squirrels, crows, and are now hosting our 3rd brood this year! So darling! Please keep these videos coming. Mother nature is just amazing. Thanks for the experience of being so up close and personal.

American Robins are one of my MOST favorites birds ever! They're just so cute -- especially when they run across the lawn; plus they sign beautiful songs (since after all -- they are a song bird.)

Funny when the mother was looking for her little one! Amazing how tame and trusting that little guy was.

American Robins are my absolute favorite birds. I was able to watch a nest about 2 years ago but didn't have a view like yours.

What a precious video. Thank you for sharing. I had a robin's nest in my burning bush. I could watch them from my living room window. Sad to say, it was attacked June 18th sometime during the night or early morning. The babies were about a week old. Mom and Dad took very good care of their young. They would take turns feeding and sitting on the nest. I found 2 babies on the ground. I tried to put them back but the nest was torn up. Mom and Dad was so upset it made me cry. There were at least 3 babies in it before the attack. They ended up dying by the next morning. They were younger than the one you helped. I'm happy to see you were able to help this one. You can tell by their color which is which. Dad has a richer deeper color on his chest. Mom's breast is a lighter reddish orange. God Bless you for your help. Yes the parents get frustrated but I see they were happy to get a baby back. If the baby has all their feathers, the parents will continue to take care of them. Again, thank you for sharing.

Water down canned dog food. I raised starlings for wildlife society a nest of 3. They gAve me the formula with canned dog food. When they get this old you can soak dry dog food and feed them the bites well soaked. Great job

Momma just says "tut" and all the little heads pop up looking for food. 🙂

I had an exact same robin's nest outside my office window... I watched it all the time from the eggs, to when they hatched, until they all eventually grew and left now the nest has deteriorated, I was glad they all made it. But I miss seeing the robin sit down and wiggle her butt, re-adjust, turn around, etc lol

The handling part leading to abandonment is a myth. I had a dove family this spring and the 2 fledglings kept heading for the backyard where I have 2 Huskies. They got one but I kept moving the other and eventually put him in a tree. Parents found him and fed him 2 or 3 more days until he could fly. He is still hanging around the area with his parents and flies just fine 3 weeks later.
