Posted by Lynn I just found this baby robin....I know what it is because I've grown up in the country with robins making their nests in our low bushes. Anyways, I found him crawling on the ground, has small feathers starting on it's wings and tail. His/her feet are pretty big for it's size and so wasn't the mouth when opened. I'd like to raise it to flight age. Any suggestions????? Anyone???? --Previous Message--

I liked what I heard from you. I will try the dried cat food soaked in water, then squeeze out the excess water. Plus, I'm going worm hunting tonight.
