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

True! I’ve seen robins do that. Again thanks for everyone help. I thought I could possibly help by now I’m thinking other wise. I’ll try to keep the toddler away

Honestly, the best way to "help" wild birds is to let them be. If you find one on the ground, leave it. Mom or dad is close by watching it. If you find a nest, leave it. Mom will likely be back, and if she's not, there is a reason. They know far more about hatching and raising their young than we do. Often when people try to help a baby animal or bird, they do more harm than good. (I know it's hard not to want to, though. I've been there.)

Ok thanks! Now that I see momma and dad I am trying to leave it alone. Once a day I pop in and say hello to the little chicks!
