    Something to look forward to as I have a similar robin and 4 eggs. Last year a cat got the chicks the day after they hatched. This year I installed chicken wire as a deterrent but I don't know if it will work.

    I love this video, a friend sent it to me. I have watched it several time. I have some robins nesting in the backyard.

    VERY NICE!
    I wonder if they needed to remember which ones they had just fed. The chicks were all asking for foooood!
