What should I know about taking care of a baby robin?

Answer by  Bethany73381 (26)

You should not be taking care of a baby robin. It will never be able to stay alive on its own in the wild and could be making you sick. Let the cycle of life run its course!

In many states it is illegal to take care of any native wildlife. If you have truly found an orphaned animal you should contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator immediately. Robins are a family bird and should be raised with other robins in order to survive in the wild.

Keep him hydrated and warm. Its best to give an animal rescue a call for advice or possibly take the little bird to them. Dont handle him too much because they become easily man handled.

If you can't put the bird back in a nest or it can't fly away, put it in a box and call a wildlife rescue group and take it to them. You should not try to raise it or it will not survive in the wild.
