I found 3 baby robins that a storm blew out of a nest in our yard. I waited to see if the parents would come. The birds were already limp and barely moving when I found them. So I picked them up and put them on a towel in a big flower pot. I couldn't find any worms that night, so when we went to walmart I bought kitten milk in the pet aisle. Then I read where I can give them cat food soaked in water. So now I give them the kitten milk with a dropper in the morning (6am) and soaked catfood every 2-3 hours until night time. They love it! I read where the water in the food is enough. I use yellow plastic tweezers, and they poke their heads up when they see them and I whistle. At first they didn't have many feathers, now they're getting a lot of feathers and a lot cuter. I put them in an old bird cage I found. I still don't know when or how I am going to release them back into wild. Any advice would be welcome.
