If possible, leave it where it is. The momma bird will likely come back and rescue it.

1. Check for any cracks. Leave it for ants if there is one.

2. Take it home gently.

3. Prepare a nest for it. Line a small bowl with soft material, then place it in an old

tissue box, and in a quiet place where you won't forget and neglect it.

4. After a few days, take it to a dark room and shine a flashlight up close to it.

If you see any veins, it's PROBABLY alive.

5. Once hatched, feed it moist beef dog or cat food with a coffee stirrer.

6. Don't be surprised if it falls asleep once away. Hatching can be tiring.

7.When it begins to hop and stretch its wings, give it an area to branch, or hop

and glide from branch to branch.

8.When it's an adult, with full or nearly full colored plumage, release it outside

and hope it survives.

Your other option is to take it directly to a rehab center. It's illegal to own most

birds besides European Starlings, House Finch, and Rock Pigeons. If you buy a license to own birds, you are allowed to rescue them often, but it might be specialized. A rescue IS allowed, but still... The rehab also may put it down, robins aren't threatened species.

Oh, and DON'T feed your robin chick chocolate, garlic, or anything else that might not be natural. Don't give it bread or milk, because birds are naturally lactose intolerant, and bread has no supplements and may cause blockage in their intestines.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Sorry it's so long and kind of vague, I'm only a kid and I am only halfway through raising an egg.
