Baby robin.....jumped the nest to early!!
Monday, June 11, 2007, 01:21 PM CST [General]
I have a baby robin who is hanging around my pond and not moving much. I see and hear it's mother but it does not seem to be responding. I thought about moving the young bird near it's nest, but isn't it true that if a bird has human scent on it the mother won't care for it??? Or is that an old wise tale. I have taken the cats and dog inside, poor thing is to easy of a prey. I guess I will just wait it out, but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. :):):)

Unfortunately the little one will most likely die... If you want to move the baby near it's nest, then do so with some leaves covering your hands... If you have any tees with large leaves that is... preferably from the tree it's nest is in... I don't know if it would work, but it's the best I can think of... Etherkari |

It is not true that birds or mammals will reject their young once they have been handled by humans. Nonetheless, the handling of wild babies should be avoided or kept to a minimum. Handling by humans can be stressful to the animal. Also, the human scent can sometimes attract predators seeking food. |
