Hatching and raising a robin

I found an abandoned robin nest and hatched the eggs. Now the robin comes back every year and says hi to me.

OMG...you are just so frickin cute. Christopher..what a name too...Winnie the Pooh...too funny. It is truly a blessing when something wild lets you in their world. I am glad that you tried to stay out of it as much as you could, it must have been hard. I am also glad to see that you recovered from that trying time in your life, too. Stay sweet:)

@KillaPutato Kristopher gave me far more than I gave her. It's astounding just how much affection a tiny bird can give. She raised many many babies in the yard in the following years. :)

That is a sweet story. Not many would take in and try to care for the eggs like you did. Even when the others did not make it you raised Chris and (I'm sure) you loved the bird but rather keep her like most people you let her go to become what she was ment to be. I wish there was a metal that people could get for being above and beyond a decent person.

@Ladydelain Thank you! :) That made me smile.

This was the most beautiful story I've ever heard! You're a really strong person for releasing her, I don't know if I would have been able to, shes too adorable :)

[Praxxus55712]

@rachellhellhell Thanks! I hated to let her go but it was the right thing to do AND it gave her the opportunity to find a mate and produce many MANY offspring. The yard is full of her children, grandshildren and great grandchildren. I went from a couple robins in the yard each year to around 20-30. It's crazy! :)

What a great story! If aliens were real and they ever came to me and asked me what it meant to be human, I would want to show them this story.

Still watching your videos, right now. Love your attitude. You have a great way of being just you. It looks like you have lost some weight, but you still look good. Keep up the videos. Animals are just amazing. I am such a sucker for them, but they do make you smile and love you unconditionally, even the wild ones who befriend you. You are so blessed:)

Once I raised some orphaned baby wild mice that I found. I fed them every 2-4 hours, even while working full time. I was able to raise them to adults until I released them. Everyone thought I was nuts..But you know what, I didn't care. While doing that I've never felt better or more alive. Those mice only lived about 2 years on this earth but are forever with me in my heart. Hopefully, someday I'll be old and small and need help and someone will help me. Isn't that what life is all about?
