We have a lot of trees in our backyard and they have produced a lot of robins this year. There were 4 nests that we know of, all different stages of life. This little guy here was the runt of all of them.
Last night Carson was looking up at the nest and little birdie took a plunge to the ground. He came running in the house to have us all go out and see. It was so cute, he just sat there and let the boys pet him. Then this morning he was still hanging around the backyard, being chased by a stray cat. Jeff chased the cat away and saved the bird.
Carson found him and wanted to hold him, so I told him to be careful and it would probably be fine. Well the bird, Hoppy Eagle Stewart, went from being cupped in the kids hands, to sitting on their fingers like a parrot!
Here is a little flying lesson.
Carson is even nice enough to help Lincoln hold it.
Success
Lincoln loves the little birdie too.
He is pretty brave, and also patient with Carson who has taken mama bird roll.
The good news is that the real mama bird still likes the baby and just follows the boys around watching that the baby is ok. She even brings it worms to eat still. Very cool. Then when it is birdie nap time, the boys climb back up into the tree to put the bird back in his nest.
I am so happy to have a new pet!
