Half Blind robin baby. *More pics*

[Argranade]

Today I found this little Guy/girl woundering around the streets and people just staring and saying how cute it is well I didnt do that I picked this robin baby up to see why it was on the ground.Well it seems one eyes is blind becase when I shake my hand on that side it does not react but on the other it does and also its white In the middle.

I took it home and fed him/her some yummy food and after that it explored.

What are you going to do with it? With one blind eye I can see it succombing to predation very easily.

[Argranade]

Im not shur It can not be released with that eye because it wont be able to fly properly so I may call the wilflife centre and ask what they think but if the eye was fine I would release the robin later on like I do with most baby birds.

I may end up keeping this robin dont want anything bad to happen to it.

poor bird! s/he is really cute! it's so great that you help all these birds! :D

Poor bird! I'm glad you too her in, she's sure cute! So, you're keeping her?

[IRescue452]

S/he won't be able to see worms with one side either. Robins don't find food by hearing, they tilt their heads to see with their eyes- which are on the sides of their head.

Let me know what the wildlife center has to say. I hope the best for that beautiful bird!!!! Our State Bird of course!!!!!


I've never known any one to keep a Robin. Considering it's blind eye, your finding him/her was a blessing!!!!! I'd like to hear more about this Robin as time goes on. More pictures please :)

Or, instead of Puss N' Boots, she might call it, Rob N' Boots!!! :D


She will no doubt give this bird a wonderful name!!!!!

Poor little guy/girl.

[molucass]

It sorta looks from the picture like it has a cataract in that eye? Or at least one of my rats that had cataracts, when you took a pic of him, his eye had that grey looking area in his eye.

Thank-You for allowing us to meet Jack. You are so darned lucky Girl!!!

And, feeding the little blind Robin, AHHHHHHHH!!! a splendid shot.

I've come up with just a few, if she were mine that is.

Midge

Nightingale(sp?)
Saucy

Penelope

Mitsy

She was certainly the highlight of my Day !!!

[Argranade]

Im sorry to have to say this but Today I found the baby robin dead on the bottum of the cage for what reason he died I dont know.

I fed it the same time as jack and gave it fresh water but it just did not make it maybe its nest was high and it fell down I dunno Im so sad this has happened. :(

Rest In peace little one.

Jack is ok thoe and jumps around very healthy.

[Dorothy39]

Oh, That is so awful!!!

I feel bad too, because I wanted to learn what you named this little Robin.

I'm so sorry that you lost that dear little blind bird. Her pictures were very wonderful to look at.

I remember watching a nest of cardinals from my bedroom window. I took pictures of the parents building the nest, then pictures of the eggs, on and on , until the eggs hatched. It was during a very HOT June, and , one by one the fledgings left the nest . I was so disapointed to learn that all of them died. It made me feel so sad.

Rest in Peace Little Robin :(
