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.

What can you feed a hungry robin?
i found a baby Robbin and its wings were hurt badly so i found it a cage and a nest and put it in the cage. Make sure to cover out side the cage with thin curtain so that the robbin will feel safe. This goes for all birds. I dug some worms and as soon as it opened its mouth i put it in. DO NOT FORCE IT DOWN. Now in a couple of weeks i am going to free it!! It is looking healthy now.
Just a note..You do not have to leave your baby robin outside..They can eat wet dog food or worms or even scrambled eggs. I gave mine some wet cherrios because it's whole grain and he needed a drink. Often parent robins will have a worm, some greens and other stuff to feed the babies.. They need fiber too..and high protein..
I read an article that allowed the baby outside play times..monitored of course..eventually..baby flew away and would not come back..this is the desired outcome..Just pick a safe release/play area. It is important to allow baby to take and swallow the offering on his/her own.

Well, you can tell if it is alive if you go to a dark place and shine a light at the egg, if you see a red dot or other bird like featers then the egg is most likely fertil and will prodouce bird if heated a 75 degrees
I have heard the best way to attempt to ensure the survival is by placing the egg in a soft little box inside a larger shoe box. poke holes which is important for survival. Also, place a light bulb in order to keep a constant 100 degrees which is the incubation temperature. Furthermore, keep a wet cloth in there to create the needed humidity important to the eggs development. But even then, the best thing to do is to leave it where it is when you have found it and except it, I know its difficult but that's the way it is..

How do you feed a baby robin by a person?
If you really can't put the bird back in the nest, you should just leave it to naturally die or get eaten. Cruel it may seem, but the bird could already be on the point to dying, especially if YOU knocked it out of the nest.
But if you absolutely want to try, you'll need to buy dog food. If you don't have a dog, this will be a big waste of money, as dog food usually comes in large packages. You'll have to soak the dog food ( which should be hard pellets) in warm water, which makes the process faster. Then you should use pliers or a tube to place or squeeze the food into it's mouth.
Baby birds are extremely hard to tend to, i'm telling you. They need care every second and day of the week. Unlike us, birds have not work or school so they can always take care of their young. By now though, I'm sure the bird will have died. This is why we don't take care of them. Songbirds are protected by law so if they die at your cost, you're going to be sorry.
