We've been watching our three baby Robins since they were eggs a few weeks ago and discovered them in our yard one morning with their nest blown out of the tree. I had always heard about not touching baby birds because their parents would then reject them due to your scent. This is totally false.

Scenario 1: Parents are around, nest can be recovered (like in this video) - Put the nest back, put the birds in their nest. Mom and/or Dad will take it from there.

Scenario 2: Parents are around, nest is lost/destroyed - Create a makeshift nest for them or raise the birds on your own if they're don't yet have feathers and fluff.

Scenario 3: No parents present - If they have feathers, they'll be fine as long as no cats or other predators get to them. If they're still pink they'll need to be raised by you.

Please keep in mind that I'm no expert - I just found this information online and had success with these little ones. Special thanks to Go Diego Go!
