Re: bad bird parent

Speaking of bird parenting, I have two really dumb robins. Both have decided to nest in really accessible areas - like about chest high in trees really near the house. And then get up shook every time I am working in the garden around the trees!
Just put the hummingbird feeders up, but so far none of the migrants have shown here.

I have pet doves as well as doves outside that nest. Doves do leave the nest
on occasion for periods at a time. It was alarming to me at first also, but
didn't seem to bother the eggs (eventual offspring) at all.
Keep an eye on them and see if she comes back at all, if she does....then all
is well.
If not...find a surrogate. I'd take them for mine to sit on, but you are a
bit far away.
