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. Also, many of you asked about the poop. Here's the answer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sac Finally, I'm not sure what happened to the third baby. Possibly the mother kicked it out because there wasn't enough room in the nest or she couldn't keep them all fed. I just don't know.
People are rude! I actually thought the male wasnt around at first and the female did all the work because they look similar. Most male bird species are more colorful. Dont feel bad you got it confused. Thanks for sharing great videos! I have a robin nest in my shed you made me aware crows are predators i noticed them around my shed you probably saved the hatchlings from being eaten! Well done and thank you!! Appreciated and the Robins thank you as well 😊 A large grey squirrel i had to get rid of tried to attack the nest but i caught him in the act and did away with him. They will also kill and eat the adult birds as well if they are caught in a confined bird house
Why did you keep it inside for so long? Its mother never left. She stays with them till they can fly. She still feeds her chicks till they fly. Thats why she's hanging around shes trying to teach them. And I can see by the video the chick wants her to. Believe me they know what they are doing.
@@tammydeboard6537 Agree, just return it to the nest. The chicks need to learn to hunt. Flying not so much. robins are ground foragers. Every June I sit on my patio and watch as one or 3 chicks follow the parent around the yard. The parents continue to feed them for few days till the chicks get the hang it.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. You take the time to record beautiful robin hatchlings out in your yard and then be able to help one of them! Plus do the editing for this video! People will always have something to say good or bad. U shouldn’t mind it nor entertain it. You did a great 👍🏻 job helping that baby bird.
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.
This is so wonderful - we have robins nesting next to our back door 3 babies born yesterday. So far so good. Using this video to track progress. Amazing.
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.)
Love Robins and have quite a few nests among others like Blackbirds,Swallows,Magpies,Starlings,Sparrows and Bats lol.Every year they nest and its beautiful to see all the babies :)
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
Thanks a lot, Jay. Being in Florida and away from my home in Buffalo, I miss the robins so I truly dig the clip. Keep ip the good work in whatever you continue to do. 😎
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.
That constant loud chirping from the parent Robin is him saying 'hey idiot, leave my baby alone, I'm still teaching him/her how to fly and gather food so he doesn't grow up mentally challenged'.
Chris Anderson yeah, Wildlife Rescue advises not to interfere wth the parents’ job to teach the fledglings skills they need to survive. We cannot do this as well. So, I am glad the baby was let outside. This is Nature.
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
6-30-15 -- WOW -- THIS VIDEO WAS SO VERY EDUCATIONAL TO ME :) I HAVE ROBINS IN THE BACK YARD & MANY DIFFERENT TREES -- :) SO THEY REAL LIKE IT THERE & A BIRD BATH -- THEY LIKE, TOO :) THANKS VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO - :)
Great video. I photographed a robin chick yesterday that fell from its nest. After a few hours the mother was able to get the chick to fly away safely.
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.
I would say you defo saved this little guys life so hats off for that and well done to you both,,, that said please stay away from a birds nest at all costs if possible, its not natural for humans to go near a birds nest and can cause the mother to leave her chicks/eggs So glad the wee one made it tho:-)
Vince Anthony I would poco fallen baby birds, raise them and release them after they can go out on their own ( my grandmother had a licence on avian wildlife)
You learned a lot through your experience and got blasted from a few people But all of your intentions were well intended. And as I said you learned a lot. And yea, they don't need water (your wife was right). For future reference, and to all others out there who are blessed with robins in their yards, the best thing you could do is to put your sprinklers on. Oh shit, I just got to the part, where the mom is desperately calling for it. Damn. Anyway, put sprinklers on so lawns are moist and the worms are near the surface! Help all our feathered friends out there. Also, when we ever get those darn early snowfalls and robins haven't migrated yet, never mind what your neighbours might think of you, but go out to your yard, and shovel the snow in a patch about 12' x12' !!!! You'll get all the neighbourhood robins coming to your lawn!
It's nice seeing people helping animals. It seems as of late all we hear are horrible stories of animal abuse/killings, watching this video was refreshing and reminded me that there are awesome people out there that care.
Ya kardeşim ne güzel insansın kutluyorum seni iyiki senin gibi iyi insanlar var bir sihirli elin değdiğini hissetmiştim o kuşlar oldu ölecek derken ölmediğini gördüm ve hissetmiştim Allah razı olsun senden çok ama çok teşekkür ederim 🙋👌👏👏👏🙏💕💕💕
just a heads up .. when robin chicks fledge they are not able to fly yet. all they can do is hop around and at times flutter like they are trying to fly. They will spend up to 2 weeks with the father on the ground learning how to feed and then they will be ready to fly. I understand you getting the chick out of the road, but it was best that you put it back in the wild.
@@nomee3931 Tom Thompson is right. It's in the bird's interest to stay in the wild. A fledgling that has all its feathers grown up but that it seems to spend most of its time on the ground, is an healthy bird and a natural behaviour for fledglings. They still need to learn how to look for food and how to fly properly, and its parents are there to teach those skills. Actually, bringin a young bird home will end up causing more harm than good. Birds have a better chance at survival if they fear humans. A bird that doesn't fear humans will get closer to humans, thus getting killed either by a car or by a cat owned by a human. That's why people should help only young birds who are in danger or are injured: if a young bird has a broken wing or leg or any other injury, you should first call wildlife rescuers and ask for help. And if the young bird is in a dangerous place (such as on the side of a road), all you need to do is bring him in a safer place, but still close to where it was, to allow its parents to find him/her. Learn about nature and science before saying wrong stuff, VAL. Loves :)
Robin chicks fletch at 13-14 days. Should've just moved it out of the road and left it. They follow the parents on the ground and learn to hunt. The parents still feed them for few days. Heart was in the right place.
It’s best to keep their nests naturally sheltered so they are not exposed to unacceptable amounts of predators. It’s to also give babies their security and safety when the parents are in search for food.
We recently found a fledgling robin in our yard who fell out of the nest which we were unable to find. We live on a canal and he would have ended up in the water if we didn’t pick him up. The parents were around and quite loud however I couldn’t let him drown or be killed by local predators… cats, raccoons, etc. as he was unable to fly. I watched several videos on rescuing a baby bird and what to feed him, seeing that it could be done successfully. We assembled a safe area complete with tree branches and cuttings from our soft shrubs for him to hop around outside, then took him in at night for safety. His parents checked on him regularly but did not feed him. We fed him a combination of canned quality dog food, cooked sweet potato, and blueberries. He ate, hand fed, very well all day long and grew quickly. He let us pet him and trusted us. After several days he started to fly in short spurts. By day 6 he safely flew off and the parents are with him as of today, 4 days later. The family is nearby at our neighbors tree and I see them with the baby often, talking and singing beautiful songs. Robins are extremely bright and are community oriented. There’s no doubt in my mind that we saved this little guy from probable disaster. We fell in love with these beautiful birds; this experience opened my eyes and I will never look at them the same way. The one critique I’d say about this video is that you never give them water. It’s not necessary and they could get pneumonia or drown.
LOL when Good Humor Ice Cream van drives by.. "Oooh, hungry. Mommy, I want some ice cream. Don't disappoint me." >> 23:35 "Bleh, mommy disappointed me" Jay, this a was great thing to share. I watched the whole clip. How many people step back from their daily grind and take a look at nature right in their own yard, like you did? The whole thing was precious. I live in Connecticut and we know Spring has arrived with the first sightings of many red-breasted robins. We get a lot of them, among other types of birds, in the Spring. I'm curious, what state do you live in? Even more curious, what make and model was the camera you used to film this? Those were some incredibly well focused shots, for an auto focusing camera. So was the audio. I need a camera like this one. In conclusion, that was nice to see you step in as interim mother, for a few days, until the baby robin was strong enough to go back outside on his own. Thanks for sharing this movie clip. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.. ;-)
+Robert Smith Hey, Robert. Thanks for the kind words and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I got some criticism for trying to help the baby, but it seems like leaving it in the street would've been bad and giving it some rest and a bit of water would be helpful. I don't know why people would criticize me for not being an ornithologist, but I can't be an expert at everything. :) The camera was a Panasonic LX-5, but my main point-and-shoot nowadays is the LX-7, Panasonic's follow on to the LX-5. The LX-7 is 1080p, up from the 720p of this video with the LX-5. They would be considered a higher end point-and-shoot. We're smack in the middle of Tacoma, Washington. Thanks again.
Jay Williams Well don't let anyone tell you what to do. Had you not been there for the robin, it most likely would have died. So you fed and housed it for a few days until it got stronger and it worked, with the help of your female friend. I remember her saying 'no more worms.' Then you said 'his mouth is open' and then she said 'automatic' So it sounds like she knows a little bit about birds as well. Thanks again for telling me what camera you used. It's affordable and I had no idea this camera's auto focus worked so well. The sharpness closeup, the clarity. I was wowed by that camera. I have one but am looking to update it to a different one because my camera takes lousy video and it uses a horrible AVI uncompressed codec. In five minutes, I would have used up 1 GB of memory. Lastly, I've lived in a lot of areas in the US but never in the north-west. Before I get too old, I'm going to try to visit Washington state, Oregon and San Francisco, CA. Have a nice day Jay...
Okay-I need some advice. A robin is trying to build a nest on top of my porch light. It is not a safe or secure place. The last two days I was able to sweep away materials and whatnot. Today I went out and swept out a FULL ON NEST. There weren’t any eggs. I’ve been trying mirrors and perfumes to divert the bird but they aren’t working. Any suggestions?
﴿وَما مِن دابَّةٍ فِي الأَرضِ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزقُها وَيَعلَمُ مُستَقَرَّها وَمُستَودَعَها كُلٌّ في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ﴾ [هود: ٦] And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allāh is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. - Saheeh International
Good save Jay. I've seen 1 too many baby robins fall pray to a 3200 pound vehicle right in front of the frantic parents. As far as the two mother comment, I'm guessing you might have seen 2 females. During robin predatory alarm calling, neighboring robins will join in to harass the predators. Then a few minutes later after the predators leave, robins are back to squabbling for territory.
The difference between a normal animal baby and a "rescue" is one couldn't outrun a well-intentioned human. Birds have been jumping out of the nets like that for millions of years, the biggest threat to them today is the domesticated house cat. The other bird was the dad. Robins don't have nannies or same sex domestic partners.
Yeah, I have a little tripod that also has a Velcro strap so you can attach it to things. Just attached my point & shoot camera to the tripod and the tripod to a branch. Glad you enjoyed it.
Birds are known to be confused. I had like only 1 house sparrow that wasn't afraid and approached with eating closer. It was smartest and calmest house sparrow unlike others who avoid and when they see me they escape.
Mate... the parents usually feed the young several days after they leave the nest as they have not fully developed flight or hunting capabilities. Taking it into captivity was 100%unnecessary.
I put a GoPro pointed at a Robin's nest on the side of my house for about 30 minutes. I was amazed how many times the mom and dad visited to feed the baby birds. They eat all the time! As you can see in my video mites and ants are giving the chicks a hard time. Is there anything I can do to help them without hurting them?
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.
Also, many of you asked about the poop. Here's the answer.

Finally, I'm not sure what happened to the third baby. Possibly the mother kicked it out because there wasn't enough room in the nest or she couldn't keep them all fed. I just don't know.

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.
Same with me!

So kind of you to take care of him & so happy you let the Moms take care of him, I hope he make it ....
Funny when the mother was looking for her little one! Amazing how tame and trusting that little guy was.
Cuties
That was funny?
Momma just says "tut" and all the little heads pop up looking for food. 🙂
So amazing. I enjoyed it so much I love birds especially Hummingbirds!
Thanks for sharing the video, we also enjoyed it immensely.

Great video. I photographed a robin chick yesterday that fell from its nest. After a few hours the mother was able to get the chick to fly away safely.
Grazie Jay Williams! Molto gentile!
So cute!
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.

Hearing the ice cream truck…. Lol 😆 are you near me ??
Nice take care Bro... God bless you..
Thanks Toronto Canada 💞🙏
I like the videos where the snakes and chipmunks and magpies fuck'em up better.
Nice work done....
Nice family. Wish God bless you
Hello thank you for the wonderful channel and the of a thank you
You really should get him out..his mama will take care of him while she's teaching him how to fly n find food!
I would say you defo saved this little guys life so hats off for that and well done to you both,,, that said please stay away from a birds nest at all costs if possible, its not natural for humans to go near a birds nest and can cause the mother to leave her chicks/eggs

Back in NJ we had a maple tree. the robins made nest every year. my kids would watch and call me. we stared and stared.

Great video.... I watched this about 5 times today. Love to see how the mother took cared of their babies. What happened to the other baby though?
Thanks. I think it either fell out or got kicked out due to lack of space. I'm not sure. Never saw it.
Are you certain a predator like a squirrel, chipmunk, hawk or owl did not take it?
Robin chicks fletch at 13-14 days. Should've just moved it out of the road and left it. They follow the parents on the ground and learn to hunt. The parents still feed them for few days. Heart was in the right place.
i love all kinds birds i have a birdhouse and bird feed
Me too. I also have a pet goose, 5 cockatiels and 4 orphan doves who will be released soon.
It’s best to keep their nests naturally sheltered so they are not exposed to unacceptable amounts of predators. It’s to also give babies their security and safety when the parents are in search for food.

6:40 what the fk... Incredible!!!
Thanks for sharing
So sharp on the close-cup. May I know what type of camera did you us?
Panasonic LX7
I love the video.
Leaving the baby on the ground opens it up to prey and insects. You did good to bring it in
At 31:08 that mamma is freaking out!!

The camera was a Panasonic LX-5, but my main point-and-shoot nowadays is the LX-7, Panasonic's follow on to the LX-5. The LX-7 is 1080p, up from the 720p of this video with the LX-5. They would be considered a higher end point-and-shoot.
We're smack in the middle of Tacoma, Washington.
Thanks again.
Jay Williams Well don't let anyone tell you what to do. Had you not been there for the robin, it most likely would have died. So you fed and housed it for a few days until it got stronger and it worked, with the help of your female friend. I remember her saying 'no more worms.' Then you said 'his mouth is open' and then she said 'automatic' So it sounds like she knows a little bit about birds as well.
Thanks again for telling me what camera you used. It's affordable and I had no idea this camera's auto focus worked so well. The sharpness closeup, the clarity. I was wowed by that camera. I have one but am looking to update it to a different one because my camera takes lousy video and it uses a horrible AVI uncompressed codec. In five minutes, I would have used up 1 GB of memory.
Lastly, I've lived in a lot of areas in the US but never in the north-west. Before I get too old, I'm going to try to visit Washington state, Oregon and San Francisco, CA.
Have a nice day Jay...

Okay-I need some advice. A robin is trying to build a nest on top of my porch light. It is not a safe or secure place. The last two days I was able to sweep away materials and whatnot. Today I went out and swept out a FULL ON NEST. There weren’t any eggs. I’ve been trying mirrors and perfumes to divert the bird but they aren’t working. Any suggestions?
﴿وَما مِن دابَّةٍ فِي الأَرضِ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزقُها وَيَعلَمُ مُستَقَرَّها وَمُستَودَعَها كُلٌّ في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ﴾ [هود: ٦]
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allāh is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.

Good save Jay. I've seen 1 too many baby robins fall pray to a 3200 pound vehicle right in front of the frantic parents. As far as the two mother comment, I'm guessing you might have seen 2 females. During robin predatory alarm calling, neighboring robins will join in to harass the predators. Then a few minutes later after the predators leave, robins are back to squabbling for territory.

Some one stole my egg, police!
The difference between a normal animal baby and a "rescue" is one couldn't outrun a well-intentioned human.
Birds have been jumping out of the nets like that for millions of years, the biggest threat to them today is the domesticated house cat.
The other bird was the dad. Robins don't have nannies or same sex domestic partners.
The mother was distressed looking for her baby.
@Why Earth how do you know someone took a baby? I did not see that...

what happen to the third baby
what bird is that making the sound at 3:45 to 3:47 ? I hear it every morning..
Hi, at around 14:00 the third chick disappears where did he go? Did he fell out of the nest because there was only room for two?
I think you're right. We never saw him again.
that wonderful we found a baby bird in grass
fluttershy valentine if it was a nestling please tell me that you saved it
Wonderful video. How did you get the footage at the nest? Did you set up a video camera in the tree?
Yeah, I have a little tripod that also has a Velcro strap so you can attach it to things. Just attached my point & shoot camera to the tripod and the tripod to a branch. Glad you enjoyed it.
+Jay Williams how
The survival rate of the robin birds are 25%

Wow they really wanted some ice cream 23:40

Wouldn’t it have been best for the baby bird to be in close proximity to its parents so they can feed it? Mom seemed stressed.
Birds are known to be confused.
I had like only 1 house sparrow that wasn't afraid and approached with eating closer.
It was smartest and calmest house sparrow unlike others who avoid and when they see me they escape.

Mate... the parents usually feed the young several days after they leave the nest as they have not fully developed flight or hunting capabilities. Taking it into captivity was 100%unnecessary.
I put a GoPro pointed at a Robin's nest on the side of my house for about 30 minutes. I was amazed how many times the mom and dad visited to feed the baby birds. They eat all the time! As you can see in my video mites and ants are giving the chicks a hard time. Is there anything I can do to help them without hurting them?
Sorry! I don't know any more about it than you do.
I know take the nest with gloves on and put it on the tree but different place on the tree it might work I did it before and it worked
Love bird
Lol. Wow! She ate the baby's poop! 😆 Eeew. This is an awesome video by the way. Thank you so much for sharing.
Karen Santana-Pagan she throws the poop away
I found their legs and wings on the ground next morning.
Poor baby. I would consult the experts on what to do.
👍👍👍👍👍
