WAITING FOR MAMA..pt 2

Good News!  The Baby Robin did not leave the nest! This morning, I saw what I assume to be the Mama go to the nest. I think she gave her baby something to eat.

 

When I went out to pick up the garbage containers, I went to the tree. I walked slowly, then from one end of the branch ( the lower end ) I peeked into the nest. I was thinking the nest is now empty that the baby bird, out of hunger, might have jumped out and run to the busy street. But I saw the baby birdie, sitting in the nest. It was not scared at all of humans. In fact, it thought I came to bring some food! He chirped, looked at me, chirped again. I went back to the house, took my digicam, took a series of shots. Now you can see them above..

The baby robins I saw a few years back, jumped to the ground. I touched them because I wanted to put them in a box. Big mistake. The Mama did not like to feed them anymore. They got out of the box and saw them run to the street. Sad, but how would I know?

 

This time, I am so happy this little one is staying put in the nest. Every now and then, the Mama comes in, I guess to give some worms. Lots of worms now in the yeard because of the rains. I believe that someday when the bird thinks it is already capable of flying, it owuld just jump out of the nest and it will fly, look around and will try to feed itself..

This is much better than Discovery Channel!
