Time-Lapse of Robin's nest from June 17th to July 11th.

[@niandralades8180]

Is it me or the 4th one didn't made it?

[@canadanaturemuseum]

Thanks for your comment. I'm happy to report that all 4 survived. One of the babies fell from the nest during the early stages and was taken to the Wild Bird Care Centre, by a member of our staff, where they cared for him and he was released back into the wild.

[@elizabethcrowell8404]

@@Warren111able If you read "The Selfish Gene" it is explained that sometimes siblings push each other out of the nest. That means more food and space for the remaining babies. Survival of the fittest.

This is really good thank you. I have two robins with me, they are about 7 or 8 days old. Their nest tore apart in that weird storm we just had. I am just caring for them until we can hand them off to a sanctuary. They are darling.

We have a robin's nest with 5 eggs RIGHT next to the front door on an old unused mailbox attached to the house and under the eaves. We've been using the back door to avoid disturbances. It's sort of an ideal spot but I still worry about raccoons and squirrels since it's just a quick leap up from the stoop to the nest.

[@JaneDoe-rj4jn]

I love robins so much. The best feeling in the world is seeing the first Robin after a long cold harsh winter - you know spring is finally here. Every house in my subdivision has a robins nest somewhere, and I’ll never understand their placement of some of these nests. They’re usually right where humans walk with heavy foot traffic, thus causing the mother to dive bomb your head. Lol

[@Melissanailzcliques]

we just captured a Robin and her 4 babies very similar. she nested on top of a wreath on our house. 💜 beautiful video

[@canadanaturemuseum]

Glad you enjoyed this time-lapse video. We all loved watching their progress :)

[@canadanaturemuseum]

Michel Gosselin: Canadian Museum of Nature Collection Manager (Birds) responds: Young robins follow their parents for a few weeks while they learn to feed by themselves. They then associate with other robins in late summer, fall and winter, but there is no actual association with the original family beyond that. Thanks for your question!

It’s nice that they could build a nest so well in view but could still feel relaxed and safe.

[@fvnt0miix953]

That’s the perfect view! I envy you 😢. I found a robin nest and I can see the babies from my deck, but they are too tiny. I wanted to take a closer look and got attacked by both parents. Tried another day and the mom followed and attacked me even when I was pretty far from the nest… I guess I’ll just watch from a distance…

[@daisyskeleton16]

I have a nest outside my bathroom window in a tree bush thing and I haven't physically seen mama Robin in a while and I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I don't see any eggs either so maybe she hasn't laid her eggs yet but still I'm a little worried about her.

It’s lucky that they didn’t harm the baby birds. Often the material collected for the nest has mites in it and this can sometimes kill the babies

[@Cheese_Meister]

so... did the birds just fly away? or did the parents throw them off a high place?

[@TheUniversalEyes]

I've had a family of Robins build a nest in the same exact spot for years 7 years. I also notice that each year, there are 3 eggs, which they all hatch fine, but when they start getting bigger (before they are ready to fly) one of them disappears, while the rest remain. It makes me wonder if the mother doesn't push one of them out of the nest because she feels it's weaker or something. (even though it's the same size as the others)

[@drdman-vp1rg]

The Universal Eye it's either that the mother pushes one out or i've heard sometimes the strongest of the hatchlings leave before they can fly but stay nearby and the mother still feeds it

[@InHitchWeTrust]

Where's the part they hatch?

[@shmeek7429]

Just found a nest on top of my truck tire and it has 2 eggs already, I’m afraid if I move the nest momma bird isn’t going to return.

[@obsidiansea]

@Darren Tipple That doesn't stop anyone. I follow a UK wildlife rescue on FB and they regularly get calls about builders or tree removal companies cutting down trees with active nests in them - even though it's illegal. They never seem to get punished.

[@obsidiansea]

There are laws about not killing native birds in the US (you can kill house sparrows or starlings, which are considered invasive and a threat to native birds), but that doesn't mean your landlord's maintenance guy wouldn't kill them. :-( Hope you, your baby, and the birds got through the summer ok.

Do birds reuse the same nest the following year?

[@Lisaloves6mill]

House sparrows use the same nest, but Robins like to build a fresh nest every time. If you remove the old nest they will use the same spot to build the new nest. If you leave the old nest they just move to a different spot.

[@TheIndiana70]

Thank you!

[@obsidiansea]

@@Lisaloves6mill Good info. FYI, house sparrows are an invasive pest. They invade native birds' nests. They will kill adult birds and nestlings, even if they have an undisturbed nest of their own elsewhere.
