thanks,Robins also eat insects so if you have some worms of some sort that could be good.
I’ve seen parents feed the babies after they fledge. Their way of teaching them to look for food. I would think if you let it look for food on the ground and only feed every so often it will learn.
Someone to rehab would be best but you’re at least giving it a chance.
actually I was outside with it and a robin flew up, he started screaming and she did too, I am watching them and she is feeding him and hiding him. she took him right in. I am assuming that he will be ok, should I take him back? he seems so happy, and I must admit. it was hard letting him go as he hopped to her and she to him, I have it on video, but cannot upload it.Aww, I wish I were close enough to help. I think, if you let her outside before those wing feathers grow back, she won’t have much of a chance. Wild baby birds have such a rotten survival rate; I do hope you can pull her through. Can you possibly leave food and water set up for her in the cage for a little while, just to see if she will eat on her own? How is she behaving? I’m new to chickens, but I’ve kept pet parrots for years, so I might be able to help talk you through it. But absolutely call the rehabber, she’ll give you good advice
