Hi all,
I rescued a baby robin that fell out of a tree late this evenin, during high wind gusts. The mom stayed with it for about an hour, til it hopped around back of the house, and then she gave up, as she has another in the nest.
It was for sure cat food tonite, so I figure nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I was hoping to have dh put it back in the nest tonite. Can anyone tell me, do momma robins sleep in their nest with the babies and how do I go about this?
The nest is a lil higher than I can reach, so I am hoping dh wants to climb a tree tonite after work after dark with one hand. Yes, babe, sure I will do that.....this from the man from South America who wanted to EAT everything that moved when he first came.
Well, at least he has experience climbing trees!
So...will there be any chance momma will take the baby back, since its only late tonite it fell out? And will we "disturb" momma? I dont have a clue, except that they eat a LOT of worms...
Help....
