Celia Downey: Day long adventure saving baby robin The baby had fallen from its nest, and human watchers stepped in to rescue it; but the act was misunderstood by the baby's mom and two guard robins, stepped in to rescue it from its rescuers, and see that they stayed. Click on headline to see how the effort turned out By Celia Downey Apparently Spring has sprung. This afternoon there was a loud persistent screeching from the garage and behold, it was a baby Robin hopping and hollering beneath the car. Finally, after much effort, the mighty creature was captured in my hand but still the baby put up a valiant flapping effort to escape. After a thorough family discussion we decided against keeping it in the house, but rather to place it back with Mother Nature. We scouted a safe random nest to put the bird in and it only tumbled to the ground, screeching the whole time. Then we put it back in the nest and down to the grass it went again, hopping and yelling. Here came the troops: three robins in full attack mode, chopping the air, to save the baby. We left the baby with them beneath the tree and hidden in the grass. The baby Robin was then silent and invisible in the grass while the mother swooped in with mouth filled with worms. Two Robbins flew guard during the rescue feeding while I captured pictures from behind the window blinds. The baby is now barely visible, it is the black spot next to the mother. The tree is filled with birds who are standing watch. The whole scenario started this morning and now the baby, the mother, and the guard is gone. I feel sure that all is well in their world and we are worn out. - Celia This story was posted on 2015-05-03 15:00:19
