Baby Bird

[Sarpah777]

Hi, I know BYC is for chickens but I'm sure you can help. Came home to see a baby Robin fallen from the nest. The mother is there, but the baby is to young to fly. The baby is still fluff and no feathers. Worried the baby won't survive. I'm afraid in the morning that the mother will leave the babe. I don't know how to care for the baby Robin, there are no rehab places where I live. Does anyone have any ideas? I have other animals and I know how to care for chickens and turkeys. I understand that there is a lot
more work in caring for a wild animal. Especially a baby. Any help,comments, suggestions would be encouraging.

Put it back in the nest, it is too young (and illegal) for a novice to successfully raise!

If you see it on the ground again though, let it be, it's probably learning to fly and its parents are keeping an eye on things

Yes, agreed, slight problem the nest is way to high for a ladder. No way to get up there.

What if the mother Robin leaves the baby? The baby doesn't have feathers, just fluff

I'd just keep any pets away from it. Its parents will continue to watch over it

Its parents should stick around. In any case, I wouldn't get involved, getting involved will do more harm than good here
