Robin abandoned nest! Could the eggs be alright?!??

If you touch that nest (or babies when if they hatch) mom may abandon them. Anytime she or dad see a perceived threat they may move away as a distraction. They may fly to another place and make a racket to draw you attention. I'd leave it be and watch from afar for a a week or so to see what is going on.

Great news! Momma has been back lately and chicks are here! I only saw one head poking out of the nest but I didn’t look long cause I didn’t want to disturb them. I will check on them every once in a while. We’ve forbidden the toddlers to go into the playhouse

Hurray! Glad to hear that there are babies!

Reading this thread brought back fond memories of grade one... a magpie had stolen an egg from a robin nest and I got angry and chased him away. Well there was a little blue egg cracked in half with an almost fully developed little chick in there (dead of course) I decided to pick it up and take it home. For some reason my dad thought that I should bring it into class for show and tell. So I did! Not sure that the kids liked it as much as I did though. Anyways I accidentally left the ziplocked egg and baby in my Gr. 1 teachers mini fridge. I never knew what became of that. For all we know it could still be there...
