I'm guessing you know more about Robin fledglings since the day you made this video. It was probably the first hour or day that it left it's nest. Robins are mostly terrestrial (land dwellers) at first. He'll figure out how to find worms on his own.
Leave them alone. People who think that they need to help them, and chase them and capture them, more often than not cause them to die.
See some helpful videos by clicking on my name. Good luck.
@steff2001 thats not how they open theyr mouths to feed, that was to fend off the giant finger snake that was moving around in a threatening manner over him
@longfootbuddy lol no. this is for all baby birds. watch videos when they feed from their parents. they cheap and shake for food. before posting things like this please do your research. trust me i have been watching birds my whole life and have 4 of my own.
@longfootbuddy yup I do. I even asked my mom she knows more about birds then I do and the open mouth chirping and shaking is correct. it's trying to get food.
I would ahve done the exact same thing had I been in you guys' position... minus the waving of my finger that is. I'm so glad that you guys were able to find out what the baby wanted! How very loving of you all!!! Did the baby happen to stay around your house in the next few weeks? I would love to know how the little one turned out!
Ahh, the internet. Where people get the courage that so often eludes them in "real life".
We had only just discovered him there that second and didn't know if he was okay, hurt, dying, stupid, or any other number of things. Had he been attacked by a cat and escaped? Hit by a car? Fell out of a tree? Just relaxing?
We had to see if he could or would fly away. Seemed he couldn't. Or wouldn't.
Hey, it looks like he's opening his mouth like that whenever your finger gets near. Do it again. Yup, he definitely is. Is he trying to fend you off? Is he really hungry, or maybe thirsty?
These are all the things we had to determine before we could know what kind of help he *needed*, and then how best to give him that help.
We DID find out what he needed, and if you'd like to see just what else we did to help him, you are more than welcome to watch Parts 2, 3, and 4.
@LittleDende Of course. I agree, these are all factors you have to determine. However, the thing I feel is especially unnecessary is how long you were poking at him. Moreover, the fact that you were concentrating on taking a video shows your lack of urgency to figure out what is wrong with him. From the looks of it, it seemed as if you were first doing these things to entertain yourself.
@LittleDende I think you could have stayed at a further distance without doing stuff like that to determine or assess an injury. Seemed like he was scared and trying to defend himself. Luckily, he wasn't able to leave. By doing what you did, he could have freaked and injured himself further. You can agree or disagree, I'm just stating my personal opinion.
@LittleDende However, I saw your other videos and while feeding the baby water might not have been the most correct thing to do, I am glad your intentions were good.
he was snapping at you.thats what they do to defend them selfs,like if u were poking me,i would say get away,well thats kinda what their doing.and if he wanted food he would have opended his beak and made this odd like chirping sound
It wasn't begging for food. The snapping noise is supposed to be a defense against predators (as ineffective as it is). Baby pigeons and probably other birds do it as well. Baby robins normally spend about a week out of the nest before being able to fly properly.
pretty much this little nice

@LittleDende I am glad you helped him. The opening the mouth is because he was hungry.

@steff2001 perhaps youre more knowlegable on birds, but less perceptive than me

@longfootbuddy yup I do. I even asked my mom she knows more about birds then I do and the open mouth chirping and shaking is correct. it's trying to get food.

@steff2001 perhaps there is a subtle difference between accepting food, and fighting giant finger

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Why on earth would you poke at and wave your blood fingers around like that? You can help the little baby but not harassing him/her! Moron.
