As I type I can see the babies. The parents are leaving them more and more. I really think they think Chaps, Emma and I will protect them. They are right about that. I fear the wondering neighborhood cats. Cat - not neighborhood cat Sandy – What great information. As I type I can see the babies. The parents are leaving them more and more.

I never knew any of that. Nope Audra haven't seen EARTH. I'm here south of Houston Texas and all our schools are still open. I work at UTMB in Galveston (not a nurse though) and we are well prepared to take care of anybody that gets oinked. Great info Camp Toast! I never knew any of that. Nope Audra haven’t seen EARTH.

But the lifespan goes up dramatically for the ones that survive that critical time, because they've learned so many important life skills. Of those that survive their first year, most wild robins live to be about 5 or 6. As of February, 2001, the longest-living banded wild robin ever recorded had survived 13 years and 11 months, according to the Bird Banding Laboratory at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. In captivity, robins have survived longer than 17 years. Most robin clutches during their first nesting of a season have 3 or 4 eggs. Very rarely there are 5, but this most often happens when a robin lays an egg in another robin's nest. Second and third nestings of a season sometimes have only 2 eggs. How long does it take for robin eggs to hatch? 12-14 days from the time the last egg is laid. How much do newly-hatched robins weigh? 5.5 grams--a little less than a quarter. Q. What three things does a baby robin know as soon as it hatches? The nestling knows to sit very still when its parents are away, to pop up and open its mouth to beg for food the moment its parents return, and to poop as soon as it swallows some food. When they first hatch, they probably don't know their parents! They know the parents have arrived with food by the "bounce" they feel on the nest, and on a sunny day by the shadow their parents make over them. This is their signal to pop up with their mouths open. Little by little, they start learning the sounds their parents make, too. Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old. It takes them another 10-15 days to become strong fliers and independent birds. By the time their eyes open, they already know their parents' voices.
