The parents have been gone for ages and i dont want the babies to die! I also dont know a thing about robins.
Answers:
The parents will be back. Mother birds rarely hand around the nest, they spend most of the day just stopping in to feed. Mother birds are also ver slick when it comes to returning to the nest. The mother does not want to draw preditors to the nest so she sneaks back.
Do not remove the birds, just leave them alone, the mother will be back when she feels it is safe. Most likely she is near and waiting. An hour is nothing mother birds search for food for awhile before returning.
Lock your brother in the house. The parents will be back.
Tell your brother to cut the sh!t out and then if the parents dont come back after a couple days carefully take the eggs to a local shelter or farm or lab at a local college ir somewhere where there are ppl who know how and are willing to take care of them, and while you are at it see if they will take your brother too. Just Kidding!
Robins are beautiful birds and have a musical song. They eat lots of mosquitoes and other bugs. Good to have around.
Get your brothers a telescope so they can watch the chicks in the nest and appreciate nature instead of chasing them away.
Try to stay at least 50 feet away from the nest and the parents will return. I have lots of robins in my yard, I sit quietly in the yard and once they learn to trust you, they will go about their business and become quite trusting.
hi
if the parents havent set on the eggs for over an hour.. the eggs are no longer fertile.. tell ur bro to back off next time. :)
you may also want to tell him he could get into big trouble!
Robins are protected in every state.. and so are the eggs!!!
big fines!
After I'd thoroughly kicked the brother's backside a good one, I'd keep him away from the chicks and wait for mama and papa bird to return (they will).
