Found a baby Robin nestling bird on the ground in my front garden just now. I was so sad. But it started moving and chirping. I found his nest but it was about 20 feet at the top of my cedar tree. So, I made a new nest for the baby out of nearby material. I put him in the nest safely, and I hope the parents will find him and take care of him. It is all I could do. And it doesn't matter if you pick them up, the birds don't care about the smells you might leave on the baby. If they find him, and they should, since he was chirping very loud, they will take care of him. I hope he makes it. From his feathers, he looks like he is about 8-10 days old. He has a good chance of surviving. This is why many call me CBL (Crazy Bird Lady)! I love these birds. #AlwaysOriginal

cute birdie. yes i hope parents can find him.
how precious lil robins! i'm sure the mother knows where to find them!
I have always heard the "parents" actually toss these out of the nest if they find them to be weak or if they feel like they will pose more of a challenge to the survival of the rest of the nest. Harsh, but that's nature.
Poor I hope his parents find him
You did well here. Hopefully, the parents do find the baby.
