Robins

With three different types of birds sharing the common name 'robin' and none of them being closely related to one another, this songbird can be a little tough to sort out. North American Robins, which belong to the thrush family and were named Robins for their resemblance to the European Robin, are native to parts of Canada and most of the contiguous United States. Known for being a sign of spring, these birds are a welcome sight to many in North America. The European Robin (also called the 'true robin'), which is part of the flycatcher family, is found all across Europe and even into Western Siberia and Northern Africa. European Robins are associated with the Christmas holiday but can also be found in British and French folklore. And last but certainly not least, there are the Australasian Robins. These little birds belong to the genus Petroicidae and can be found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and on many Pacific islands.

How long does a robin sit on her baby birds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the baby bird is alive, she doesn't sit on it at all! She sits near it and snuggles up to it. She sits on the eggs until they hatch, which is different depending on the type of bird.

What is the incubation period for robin's eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Robin eggs need to be kept at a temperature of 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. If they get to hot don't try to cool them off with water just let them sit in a shaded area for a while and hope that they are still alive. T~O~L

Can you eat robin eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes but there will not be very much meat. As it is a wild animal the meat will most likely be tough. You will also have to determine how you will kill it, as robins are small and most guns would completely destroy the bird. A small BB gun like the Red Ryder would be ideal, however they are somewhat inaccurate and require lots of practice to master.

How do you take care of a baby robin egg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How to care for baby robins, or any other wild baby bird: Get yourself a medicine syringe (most drug stores have them) and get some baby rice cereal. Mix up the rice cereal with warm water and suck up into medicine syringe, and when the chicks are hungry you just put the end of the medicine syringe into their mouth and feed. Don't be afraid to put it down their throat a little, the mother does this with her beak. If you can, go to Petco or a petstore and buy some bird hand feeding food. I know petco carries this for about $5.99. It is better for them then the rice cereal, but the rice cereal will be ok if you cant find hand feeding food for birds. You should also know that baby robins poop ALOT! So you should be prepared to clean up their area frequently. If you cannot care for the chicks, then call your local vet office and ask if they have a number for someone who cares for wildlife, and baby animals that have been found. They can usually point you in the right direction. If you decide to keep the chick, or chicks then you must know that you cannot let them go once they grow up because they won't know how to fend for themselves, and they will die if you release them. So decide carefully. Also, the mortality rate is quite high in baby birds, so don't be surprised if only one chick lives. Good Luck! PS: the chicks eat about every hour to hour and a half! but they do sleep all night, so get your rest, you'll be up early feeding them!
