Babies in the Bush! These babies are not alone! Mom and dad keep a close eye as the babies wander around for three weeks. When mom sits on a new batch of eggs, dad takes over. He feeds the kids and teaches them lessons: How to hide behind a bush, what not to be scared of (lawnmowers next door), and the best place to find food (a cherry tree). At night, dad and the babies all gather on a branch to sleep together (called roosting). So when you see a robin baby on the ground, leave it alone and let mom and dad do their jobs!    Back to start       Copyright 1997-2013 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.   Contact Us    Search
