3:09

Baby Robin: I wanna see that guy with the thingy in his hand. *pokes head out from under Mom/Dad (think it's dad since the plumage on the chest is dark and not dully like the females, but I can't really tell due to vid quality. )

[adidasreebok]

hey it's May 23rd today! and there's 4 eggs on a nest right by my garage :)

[boobtubious]

@adidasreebok Awesome!! I think it's incredible to watch!

[Chelleproductions]

!!!!! if you touched the babies the mom would have abbandoned them and they would die ik bc we have a nest in out little tree and when i went to put the robin's egg back in the nest because it fell when we were doing our easter egg hunt and my parents told me ! haha

[kellyandkaylen]

@Chelleproductions y did they say haha

[Duvmasta]

Mom's going to her mate "come quick! a human's gonna eat our babies!"

[boobtubious]

@MsCookiemonster224 What language do you speak? Does hitious mean totally awesome where you come from?

[StreechColorado]

Our house is now 10 years old and we have our first robin's nest being constructed. I found your video when looking up what we can expect. Thank you for producing and posting.

[boobtubious]

@StreechColorado You are welcome! Always glad to be of help.. remember not to piss off the parents :)

[CurlyCorry]

besides the poop, ya got an incredible video!!! that was very fine!!!

[mexicanpharmacy]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

Thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!!

[Gellasnowboarder]

Loved the video! Thanks for posting. I used to take care of abandoned baby robins at a humane society wildlife nursery. :) Only 8 days and all those feathers!

[boobtubious]

They grow up so fast! :)

[incidious13]

Fine production!!! And still amused by 2:07-'still pissed'.... but I would be too if someone was in my way, but I see it was in good intent. Thanx!!!

[amyhinmn]

Love this, frustrating because we even put up a robin "ledge" and cannot get them to nest anywhere. I do want to advise, when they get older and aware of your presence, you should stop getting close. They are more likely to fledge too early and be vulnerable to predators on the ground and being killed. If you come too close and they are aware of you, they might jump for it too early. I usually stop checking on my fledglings after about 7-8 days. But, love the video and commentary.

[rtsoccerplayer]

cool, i shoulda done a video like this too, we have a robin nest in a very similar location

[boobtubious]

They always come back, i bet you'll have the chance!

[tamirvcd5000]

thats a cool thing you didnt destroyed the nest dude...i wish ther were more people like u

[boobtubious]

I wouldn't do that to them. This year they made one in my old grill, the little ones are about to fly away.

[tamirvcd5000]

awsome

i wish it would happand to me 2

[Lowriderman313]

i wish too beacuse were i live there is a bunch of little kids and they are little fuckers and like to take town the nest and get the eggs and try and grow them themselves but they cant cus they are a bunch of retards

[xutiekira17]

lol, yup i'd say the mom was pissed. but it was a funny video, they were ugly as first.

[boobtubious]

I put in a different light this year, so they don't have a place to build that nest. Yes they start out butt ugly! LOL

[RinceBox]

Never realised how different American Robins are to European kind. Much bigger for a start.

[boobtubious]

Interesting.. I never knew that either.

[lil0egy0kid]

just like everything else in america lol

nice video btw dude it cool you kept them

[boobtubious]

Thanks!

[UTuberSandwich]

The female Robin is ALL BROWN. only the MALES ARE REDBREASTED..>WHERE'S MOM?

[boobtubious]

Good question. There were 2 birds taking care of this nest and both were red breasted. Does this mean it was a gay couple. If so where did they get the eggs? Eggdoption.

[UTuberSandwich]

Eggzactly! lol...I saw two males raising a chick before at the park. I wonder where the mom's go after they hatch because the males do take care of the chicks once the chicks fledge. I'll have to do more research.

[Flyingspud247]

You mean european robins? American robins both have red breasts- only the females are a little more pale.

[UTuberSandwich]

tHIS IS A first time mom because only the inexperienced birds builds nests so low to the ground. most robins go way higher like 20 feet up in the air.

[nikkimoll]

Take the eggs and raise them as your own! That's what I tried to do.

[ryanowns17]

ive got a bird's nest right beside my front door on the ground with little eggs and somehow the nest seems to make its way in front of my door...the little bastards...

[mochacass101]

i had one of these nests in the hedge in my backyard. i climbed up there and took pictures, and to my surprise there were eggs in there...later i looked on the ground and sure enough i found egg shells. blue ones. it was so cool and later i saw the little babies. so far there have been robins using that nest for 3 years...no one used it this year...but it was too cool.

[boobtubious]

Sometimes a new mother will come lay eggs in the same season. We had one in the back yard that produced 3 babies too. It's fun to watch it all happen!

[mochacass101]

ya its so cool to see that! and the baby robins are always so adorable!

[amjPeace]

We have phoebes that come back every year and do the same thing at my front door. I'm glad we have a power washer. Great video!

[boobtubious]

Thanks!

[LordTempist]

Excellent, I watched this on my wifes computer so I came over here to comment on my computer:)

[boobtubious]

Thanks for the double view and the comment! :)

[princessdana99]

Great video! Really interesting... and cute birds! You're lucky to have seen them so close up!

[boobtubious]

Thanks! It worked out really nice, my 10 year old did her science project on them, with a little help from the video camera :)

[proofisinthepudding]

We have 2 bluebird house but i can't get my camera at the right angle to see in.Excellent bird video.:)

[boobtubious]

We have lots of others too, this one was easy :)

Thanks!

[MuggleSam]

Wow! Can't believe you got that all on tape. That's amazing!

[boobtubious]

It took awhile but it was worth it!

[july7nyc]

Oh yeah she was pissed. Lol! I almost died when the mom was sitting on the nest and the baby sticks his head out like "Mooom, get off, I can't breathe!" LMAO!

[boobtubious]

You would think they would get smothered under there! LOL

[Cozytailmom]

So ugly they are cute.

I can't wait to show this one to Holly and Simon. It's amazing how quickly they go from fluff balls to flyers.

[boobtubious]

They grow way faster than our kids! LOL

[jawharp1992]

My mom told me that we are getting chickens this summer, and I thought of this video. Hmm...

[boobtubious]

You won't have to buy eggs at the store! I grew up on a farm, it's nice to be self sufficient.

[jawharp1992]

That's exactly what my mom wants to do. She has this huge garden, and she wants to raise chickens for that reason. Gas is getting to expensive, and if we don't have to go into town to buy expensive food and use expensive fuel to get into town, then we have some worries off of our chests.

[boobtubious]

It's a good way to do it. I collected egss and milked goats in the mornings before school.

[swiftdragon117]

Thanks for this neat videos. My girls loved watching it. We have two birds nest, but too lazy to video them every day. :P

[boobtubious]

It was a fun study to do. Glad you like it!

[GrandeMochaLate]

Matt! This is so freakin' awesome! I LOVED it! Must have taken a lot of editing and a lot of patience to make this but holy, am I ever glad you did. I can't believe how big they get after 8 days after hatching! That's insane! I have to so Alex this. She'll love it. Thanks again! :)

[boobtubious]

Glas you like it! Editing wasn't that much, just adding music and subtitles basically, shot a little bit each day.

[RiddleSpider]

Wow Matt!!!! I loved this! I shared it with the boys also. Thank you so much for sharing this. What an amazing thing to witness.

[boobtubious]

Thanks! and You're welcome! We thought it was so cool! Sad to see them gone now. Maybe another one will come along and use the nest.

[RiddleSpider]

You know what we just did? I cut R's hair out on the deck, so later this year if we find a nest it will be lined with his hair. I would suggest you do the same but....LOL

[boobtubious]

I could always cut my back hair... ew, LOL

[RiddleSpider]

Officially grossed out...

LOL

[Rh1no1]

I LOVED this video. IT should be featured. Thanks for having a heart and letting these funny looking things nest and poop on your porch. LOL

I think you're cool!

:-)

[boobtubious]

Thanks Lindsay! I'm not sure it's feature material, LOL. I do appreciate you watching and the "cool" comment :)

[DatAintRight]

That is so much easier to see than mine!

Great job!

[boobtubious]

Thanks! Your's had more to it though, it seemed like.

[jawharp1992]

SO CUTE!!! OMG!

[boobtubious]

They grow up so fast, *sob* - LOL

[OhCurt]

Wow, this was cool getting to see them grow up so quickly.

I'm guessing that what they left behind on the front porch was in lieu of a signed release form approving this upload...?

[boobtubious]

The poop was as good as a signed release to me! LOL

[xjasongarciax]

Really cool Matt! A face only a mother could love! Now that they're gone you can use the nest as a hat! :o)

[boobtubious]

Toupee maybe? LOL

[normspace]

I feel your pain. last year they built a nest above our door. After the chicks were born they flew away. They were gone 3 days so I thought I would take down the nest and clean up the mud and he mess they created. Well they came back to try to build another nest and I kept knocking down the mud and twigs then they decided to get gang together. So I finally purchased Long Plastic Spikes to above the door and won!

[boobtubious]

They often times come back to lay another set of eggs, or another mom does. So I'll leave it up for awhile and see what happens :)

[Pippilly]

hahahhahaa! I was cracking up at that first baby Robin sticking it's head out! That was fabulous! Well done... it came to such an abrupt ending... Their beginning.. They had such big mouths! lol!!!!

[boobtubious]

Unproportional to their bodies, thats for sure!

[dontheman17]

So well done! Incredible job of timelineing.

Now doesn't it make you feel better about all that mud slinging and pooping?

Does this make you a slum landlord now?

5 where's my worm stars.

[boobtubious]

The mud slingingwa ok the slinging of the fecal sacs was uncalled for. LOL

[souixana]

I just love this video! 5 stars and fav'd!

[boobtubious]

Thanks!
