I rescued a baby robin from some crows last year and ended up taking care of it for a long time.
At least digging worms was easier that trying to take care of the baby swallows the year before.
I was running around with a butterfly net every fifteen minutes. They made it to day 9, before dieing.
They got a bit chilled one night, even tho in the house, and died the next day. I told my husband if he ever
saw baby swallows out of the nest again, don't tell me!

The robin, "Sparky" became quite the shadow, following me all around the yard. He would wait patiently
while I dug, then run in and grab the worm. Thank goodness for compost bins!
