Hello all! I need Help!! I'm here because I have an urgent question for the forum.
I have a family of 4 baby Robin's living on my property growing up in a nest that looks to be not very big.
This morning I noticed one had fallen out, so I put it back. All was well and then tonight I noticed one had fallen out again.
There is another abandoned nest 12 inches from the one in use that a previous mother raised her babies in, and it's better built, and has larger sides.
I'm considering moving all 4 babies to the larger nest, and stuffing it where the existing one is. Does anyone have any thoughts about whether this is advisable or not? The current nest is too crowded, and the babies are still small, with sprouting feathers, but mostly skin, and eyes closed still.
Also, the mother is present. She was in the nest when I found the baby that fell this morning, and was 10 feet away watching me (or more likely the baby) when I found the one that fell this evening.
