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 it take for a baby bird to leave it's nest?
It takes the baby bird 13-15 days of hatching to leave the nest and go out on it's own. Robins made a nest in some fake flowers I had on the back porch. It was amazing! I think it took them as long to build the nest as it did for the eggs to hatch and the babies fly away. Once the eggs hatched within three days we started seeing there heads poke from the nest. In two weeks actually from the day they were born the nest was empty.
Newborn baby robins are almost pathetic-looking: they look scrawny, with only a little down covering their bodies and no wing or tail feathers to speak of. They are more of a mottled brown-and-grey, and don't start developing that red chest of theirs until they're a few weeks of age, after they leave the nest, and after they attempt to take their first attempts at flight. At first, after hatching, they look like their all beak and no feathers. They do fill out as they get older, with their mother and father bringing them worms and insects for them to fill up on.
How do you know if a duck egg is alive?
All you do is make sure it is not Stinky and if it is then it is dead and if it is a soft shell,it is also dead. If you feel the egg and it is really hard and hollow it is alive.To also make sure the egg is alive,you take like a long plastic cup or something and poor alot of COLD water in it and drop the egg carefully in the cup and if the egg sinks to the bottom of the cup,it is not rotton and it can also be alive,and if it floats to the top,it is dead and rotton:(
The American Robin's eggs are incubated soley by the female and while the chicks are still young the mother broods them continuously. When they're older the mother only broods them at night or during bad weather. Once they're fledglings the adult male and female are both active in protecting and feeding them until they learn to forage on their own.
Yes. Put it in an icubator and if you don't have one make one out of a heat lamp and some damp towels. The temperature should be around 98 degrees. You need to have gotten the eggs withen a couple of hours from when she left them or they'll be too cold and won't make it. Hope this helped :)

While not known to be a social/flock forming songbird, thousands of robins will assemble in a general roost. Males will gather at these roosting areas while the females will remain on the nests at night. Once fledglings have left the nest the females will also gather at the roosting area. So, yes Robins will live together.
They have to love and care for each other then in spring they have a baby(s)
