I raised one too. Nest fell. A windy night. I kept her for about a month. I had birds domesticated. I tried to put back the nest up. I buried her 2 sibbling that died on the fall. I took her in because she kept coming by my door. Eyes barely split. Feed her in a bird cage I had. Released her to the wild a month later.THE Hardest and happiest day. There was a Robin that had a nest of babies the next spring. I think it was her coming home. Greatest experience of my life.

In the time we're living in, with this entire virus. This video with the baby birds is lowering my blood pressure for the better. Thank you for taking these birds in as you have

She is so cute, you must be proud of yourself for helping an animal with so much care.

A man who has compassion is the sexiest man. Thank God there are people like you who are not completely unaware of the wildlife.

I had 3 baby birds and all because of you it lived thank you so much for helping people😃

Well our little Robin has been with us for 22 days now and he is doing wonderful! He is such a sweet little guy and still sleeps in our garage. He is eating what I feed him still but doesn't beg like a baby anymore and picks the food up himself. He flies beautifully and loves hanging out in the trees and roof. But as soon as he hears the door and sees/hears me, he will swoop down and want to be fed and perch on my shoulder :) I'm think we domesticated him a little too much but I'm sure once he is ready he will leave us for good. But for now he's our baby and we adore him! (Ps - he thinks his name is baby bird, lol!)

You certainly have a lot of heart, and you did a great job with this documentary. I feel a little more confident with my own baby sparrow now. Thanks and God bless you for your compassion.

"Blueberry? Anyone?" This is so cute omg

You’re a good man. We recently found a robin in our yard, and did the same things you did here. Our little friend is about in the fledgling stage, and is doing well. He should be airborne any day now. Good to know there are still people in this world who don’t turn a blind eye to animals in need. Be well!

i found a baby robin. I decided to name him wilbur. He was really small and hungry. My dog loved him and so did i. Last night, he passed away before he was even able to fly. he’s now in bird heaven. RIP wilbur

I truly admire people who love animals 👍👍👍

You are a gem Mike!! I watched your documentary many times and can't tell you how delighted I was with your education and the TLC you have as a compassionate man who respects these beautiful creatures. I had the fortunate experience of caring for two little robins (late in July.. Moms last laying of eggs) I accidentally clipped the supporting branch of my tall privet not knowing the nest was inside the bush! The nest tumbled out and fell apart. One fledgling hopped away. The two remaining were younger. I made a makeshift nest and left them a felt on the ground near the original nest. I saw both mom and dad the next day, but they didn't come more than 5 feet from the babies.. Eventually disappearing @dusk. I took these two little puff balls in and kept them for 9 to 10 days. I fed them worms from my garden and some scrambled up eggs with a medicine dropper... Sadly, on that 10th day, both of my little puff balls died within 9 hours of one another. I really cried as the littler one had just learned to hop and had taken a brief flight of 3 feet. My best guess was that the new worms I was using(a purchase from Walmart) were too large and fat and over whelmed the birdies digestive systems. I had cut these worms but their size contained blood and oodles of, "guts" The birdies became unusually listless and fatigued in their last hours and fell onto their backs trying to get upright. Then they shook and their lungs collapsed.. They were gone and watching that struggle still gives me nightmares. Could I have helped them? I wanted to be able to set them free as they were meant to be, but 😔 Did it hurt when you finally let yours go? Your sensitivities were beautiful to watch Mike🤗 (I was wondering if you knew about the migratory habits of robins specifically. Will I perhaps see some of the same song birds in many of my trees and shrubs next year? I am retired at 62 and passionately enjoy my gardening.. I'm sure I will have the company of more blessings as another spring will be here b4 we know it🕊️🐦🐥😇🌹

That’s actually how the parents would feed the fledglings … you did a perfect job

Thank you so much for caring for our vulnerable friends of Nature,feathered or otherwise. You treat them as a good friend the way you talk to the birds and stroke them ,our mother stroked our forehead when we were unwell. You are their 2 nd mother/ father . I’m the eldest of 6 children and our mother & father would love this video. I’m living in Old Coulsdon, Surrey,UK 💖🧚‍♀️🦋🧚‍♀️God Bless you Mike

It's amazing how fast they came to trust you & learn your cues as old as they were when you found them! You're a saint :D

Thank you all for your encouraging comments, and for all the great work you do to help these birds in need. Compassion for a fellow creature raises us all to super-human status, if you ask me. I love seeing the great work you all try to do saving birds. REMEMBER: job one, is to put it back in the nest!! No one can raise the bird better than the parent bird. I never take a bird if there is a viable nest, or any way for the parent to feed it. Honestly, it is best to stay out of it, and let the parents do the work. I only intervene, when there is no nest, no parent, or if there is immediate urgent need to save the bird's life. Knowing when to help, and when NOT to help, is the hard decision we all make. Great vibes everyone, fly on! I can only help birds when my time allows, and my time only allows, when the bills are paid... :-( So if anyone has the means to help, consider donating to my campaign: www.gofundme.com/the-bird-expenses

I came a crossed your video's and I love them. What a caring man you are to take in the birds and care for the them. It warms my heart to see this...

They have the most darling faces. Thanks for taking the time to record your caretaking. Hope these videos help someone else taking care of abandoned chicks.

You, Mike Franzman, are a wonderful human! Compassionate, kind. Thx for helping out these feathered beings!

12:58 I DIDN’T REALIZE HOW LONG HIS LEGS WERE LMAO

Really beautiful little birds.

Anyone who dislikes this is heartless. You are a saint.

Yesterday I found a baby black capped chickadee. Three baby birds fell out of the nest, unfortunately 2 of them were dead when I saw them. I put the alive one in a shoe box and put the shoe box in a cat house (of course no cat inside). And I put the cat house on a chair in my yard. Because the baby bird refused to eat my food, I have to wait to see if the parents birds will come to it and I prayed. Luckily yesterday afternoon and this morning, I saw the parents birds came back and feed it. Now the only thing I need to do is to keep it warm during the nights and wish it can grow big enough to fly away.

"Dave! Is that you?!"..."Leonard!! Did Mike kick you out of the nest, too? I knew Mama shoulda only laid two eggs!"..."Well, then you wouldn't exist, Dave!"

Really made my day, I rescued a Baby Raven. I had to call for a sanctuary to help his broken wing. Anyway that was 12 months ago. The mother and I see each other a lot. Ppl do not understand the love ❤️ that ppl like you have for animals. God Bless you

These days, I’m keeping up with you, Ray. I’m watching all the new videos and I started watching the channel from the beginning. I’m so happy I decided to do that. This story found a special place in my heart. Thank you for your kindness and your wholesomeness. 💚

It was adorable to see that baby snuggled up on your shirt and looking sleepy. So glad you rescued these cuties!

I have a robin baby who's eyes sparkle in the light, her feathers are very smooth, and she has been with me for 3 days and 4 nights

Robins are my favorite birds. Thank you for helping these little babies.

It is a wonderful job that Mike did raising this little Robin, if indeed it was abandoned.. I hope most of you know that when Robins, as with many other birds, come out of the nest, they are on the ground for approximately two weeks until they grow their adult feathers and can then fly. It is not always a good idea to interfere until you know for absolute certainty that the young bird has been abandoned. It would be very rare that a Robin parent would abandon its offspring, unless perhaps if had been killed. Out of the nest, the father Robin does most of the care taking and training. The parents will come intermittently to feed them and to teach them how to look for food, what enemies to avoid and how to fly. Baby birds come out of the nest not being able to fly. That is normal. They do not come out with adult wings. A little research must be done! Baby Robins look like these babies when they come out of the nest. Again, they do not have adult feathers when they first come out the nest and they cannot fly. Leave them alone and their parents will feed them and educate them to be birds. Again, before we interfere with the natural development of these birds, do some research. I have robins in my yard that look exactly like these Robins and I have been watching their parents take care of them for a week now. Do not take their parentall role away from them. I worry that this man knows nothing about Robin development and though his heart wanted to make sure these birds survived, I believe the parents would have taken care of them. Parent Robins will not come around if a human is close by.

The little bird is like…it’s my dad….❤️❤️ You are so kind sweet and lovable…🙏🙏

Thank you for your video. My husband found this morning a very young robin in the yard. The ants were after him/her was giving up. I gave water and cat food, raspberries and blueberries. He doesn't open his beck yet for feeding, but I won't give up on him/her. What's cool is I play your video because he/she answers back to your bird.

At 7:57 to the left of the robin is a trifolium. either a clover or a shamrock. These bird differ from the stubby, brown redbrested birds we get in Ireland who are one of our few small full-time resident passerine birds, most others are migratory. Pure yankee ingenuity feeding them water soaked kitten food. Takes a huge amount of patience, compassion and care to get them to full grown adults.Well done.

Mike Franzman , it really brang tears to my eyes to know their are wonderful people out their like you. Believe me their is a Paradise waiting for you in the future. God Bless you and your family. With more people like you on this earth ( Kind People) What a wonderful world this would be your friend in Christ Lucica And in this world of animals and some good people that are still around, You have a Blessed day and a wonderful Life !

they only time you should do this is if you no the parents of the baby bird are dead. When the babys can walk on there own they jump out of the nest, thats why you found both around the same time, but the mom will still come and feed them on the ground for up to a few weeks sometimes untill they learn to fly. I have a nest in my backyard and ive actually watched this happen

Excellent documentary series. My friends are taking care of 2 baby robins who were abandoned by their mother. Thank you for all the info. Many birds will be saved in these instructions

Thank you for showing us so much love. It really warms my heart knowing there are many good people like you out there.

You handle them so well these babies! very well said story too. I was so engrossed watching them been fed, that at one point i opened my mouth like the babies! Thanks for feeding such a nice story!

Sunt multi puisori care mai cad din cuib si respect pentru cei care i gasesc si ii salveaza ingrijindu i pana cresc mari cu rabdare si migala😮❤❤

Rescuing baby birds is a wonderful activity I cannot understand why some people gave dislikes or they just wanted to leave them to their own destiny and death can be predicted.

Awesome, heartwarming story. That is the beauty of life and nature and bonding with Chris is such a blessing.

This afternoon I opened my basement back door and there was a baby sparrow bird , the same size as your bird . There are no trees in my yard . I had to go online to feed this little bird . I don't even know if it's a girl or boy. God sent these birds to us 'cause he knows we would look after God gift to our earth . Amen ❤️ 🙏

There are caring, loving people in the world. God Bless him thank you ❤

thank you for helping these little fallen nestlings... if was so funny watching them try to get to the window

This robin is actually a fledgling, so most people would say not to touch him because his parent will feed him but he’s so vulnerable I always take in the fledglings I find. There’s no harm in extra protection as long as they still get supervised outside time and proper food!

thank you for being a saint

Its kinda funny and extremely interesting how dropped baby birds when given a chance grasp for that last straw. Their will to live is simply unbeatable. 👍👍

man you helped them now they can go into into the wild were they belong, real cool how you helped them, not many peeps would do that, you must be a so kind of a person, thank you.

very brave move.as they are fragile I looked after a kestrel when in the military here in the UK 40years ago well done mom!

Wow, your video is amazing. I have a baby sparrow, a cat dropped it. We took him in. He was unable even to stand up, I have been feeding it with baby food and a dropper. They are so sweet. Your video is very insightful; I know now that I will be doing this more time. Thanks.

Thank you for saving them! I raised a baby Blue Jay many many years ago. It breaks my heart that there are so many roaming domestic cats and feral cats. We had a terrible storm a few days ago and I worry about how many babies may have been blown out of their nests or nests on the ground. There's a Robin's nest just across the street and the people living in the house where the nest is have a cat they let roam. I've tried to let them know but they don't seem to care. I'm so glad you and others care about birds.

You're such a good person for helping him

Thanks. We found a British Robin today - it landed on my husband's head whilst he was gardening. Thanks for the advice in the video. We are going to try to keep him safe from the local cats and larger birds and hope that in a couple of days he has survived and will be able to fly.

Thank you for your compassion & sharing this video

La vie est embellie des qu on s occupe d un petit animal. Toute la journée tourne autour de ce petit être qui a besoin de nous.

❤❤❤❤❤❤ have been watching robin videos since a mama robin built a nest at my front porch. I miss them now that they have all left.

What a Kind Sole... God Bless You Always!!

This was precious and adorable. It made me genuinely happy that you took good care of those Robins. Something possibly happened to the parents or the baby nestlings were abandoned. Either way, it is possible they wouldn't have made it this long. This video warmed my heart. I've been wanting to raise a bird from hatchling so much.

The underdeveloped Robin's that fell out of their nest and into your heart, your home and your loving hands. Mother Nature is saying, well done my friend. Thank you for helping my gifts to this world. Mister, whoever you are, there is one thing that's certain. You are angel here on Earth. Bless your heart forever and a day!! Fly high little Robin's as you were meant to do.💞

I know this video is old but thanks so much for sharing. I found a baby robin just like you it got blowed out of the nest by storm from a huge tree way up high. The one I found was younger then yours mine also didn’t make it I tried but I had no idea what to feed it. I new they eat worms but I was afraid he would choke on them since the mom would regurgitate them for him. So I went on line and started feeding him peanuts ground up fine and added some water and started feeding him using a plastic tube I had gotten from the vet for medicine for my dog and it worked great he was doing okay but I think the loud Fourth of July we had must have scared him to death found him dead in his little nest we made for him he was stretched out it just looked strange. We didn’t bring him in cause we wanted to give the parents the opportunity to feed him but they never did. Poor baby I wished I could have saved him so if I ever find another one I will try and feed it what you used. Thanks again they where so cute!!! I love robins….you was a good dad! 😊

I found a baby robin yesterday and following your advice, he made it through the night. Thank you so much

I ended up with baby Robins today. ..I was driving down the road, and saw a bird standing by mother bird that was hit by a car. I picked him up, and took him home. Then I drive up the road, and find another baby on the road. Make along story short, I have three of them. I looked around, and didn't see any others. There feathers are almost grown out. I went and bought some mill worms. They were not hard to feed. I am new at this, and hoping I can do this . I have four German Shepherds with one that has cancer,. My Dog Grizzly looks to be dying. I had him at Vet yesterday, Not much they could do. They gave him some injections, and was unsure that it would work. It's not working, and I am heartbroken. I just don't know how I am going to be able to handle all this. But I can't stand back, and let babies die. I am watching this video hoping to get tips here.

OMG, so beautiful. I love how baby birds have a little stubbly backend with tiny little pinfeathers.

You have an amazing heart to save this little bird's life now he sees you as mommy/daddy and abously he does not want to leave you. This really touched my heart. If he doesn't want to leave you he should be with you. He loves you. Great video 👍

Thank you so much for rescuing these birds!!!!!!!

I have a nest on my porch,and 3 baby birds hatched.The Mama bird comes back and forth,bringing food constantly.Nature is so beautiful ,in so many ways

I'm pround to see this kind of content on youtube, good job on keeping them alive, man !

What a joy to see them getting alive and fly again.

I know I am late but just found this. Thanks for taking care of him & sharing the experience with us :) appreciate it. Very sweet

What a delightful video! These baby birds are so cute.

We had a powerful storm that knocked a nest and 3 nestlings from way up in my tree. They're doing well and I'm developing a plan for a supervised release when they're ready. Your video is very helpful. Thanks!

We have two nested babies a foot from our front door. We now will know what to do if needed thanks to your awesome video and information on feeding.! Sharing is caring, thank you, great job saving the babies !!

God bless ALL ppl who rescue animals. It’s such an amazing experience. I’ve raised many baby squirrels. Great video an info. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you sweet brother. From Texas

Oh god it's so fluffy and round, how cute!!

thanks for helping these birds. It must have been a lot of work.

People who would go to all that effort to help a little animal in need... truly are the best sort of people.

I found a baby Robin yesterday in my backyard. He showed up at the back door asking for help. The neighbor's 4th of July fireworks probably scared the poor thing out of the nest. Thankfully he's not too young and already has feathers (just not the big tail-feathers). He can just barely fly a little. I fed him some worms and he seems much more lively this morning.

Nice ! what a great soul you're Mike. God bless you.

This is the most caring and gentle bird video i have ever seen

You can buy hemp insulation material, to make a nest of. It is soft and antibacterial. It is with threads, like hay but much thinner and softer. Then you can throw seeds into his bec that you keep open with you fingers carefully. Seeds with or without peel, such as sunflower and even better; hemp, walnuts, soaked for minimum 4 hours and cut in pieces - any nuts and seeds, best soaked if it is nuts. The grass is good and healthy because they get grounded. I had a pigeon and went to a park with him for 2 hours every day and fed him soaked seeds; had pillows of hemp material, also one in my bicycle basket. He loved to sit softly and preferred when I had a hemp towel on top of the material. I kept windows open when he slept so I could release him in September into the cold, which I did.

Mike Franzman, Thank you! great documentary. I've learned a lot. now I can help this little baby Robin .

Baby robins eat mostly earthworms, caterpillars, and other larvae. Even as adults robins are not keen on raspberries but enjoy Saskatoon berries. I follow them for many years in my yard up North in Edmonton and admire the devotion, time and work you put in raising these not yet fledgling babies!

Any body else notice the 4 leaf clover under the bird at 9:53

Thank you for taking care of the baby robin!

Thank You very much for rescuing, Mike! Amazing!

you are so lucky, mate. My almost fully fledged baby sparrow just wouldn't open his mouth to eat no matter how patient I was and with the right foods. He was strong and chirpy but just didn't open his mouth. After a two whole days he passed on. I really think he was homesick and just wanted Mum and dad. However I read up and learned a lot so the next time I come across another I will be far better prepared, and, hopefully not, prepared for the worst. I am glad yours responded so well. Thank you for your kindness to them.

You are a very kind man. God Bless you.

This is helping me immensely. Thank you . I presently found a baby robin bird on the pavement that fell from nest in my front yard. I thought he was dead at first bc he was all stretched out barely moving . I took bird inside and thought to watch different videos regarding birds that fell from nest. Thank you so much

Thank you for this very informative series! My dog found a nestling robin bouncing along the road in extremely hot weather and the rescue orgs were full so we decided to give it a shot. It didn't take long to decide that round-ended chopsticks are the best feeding mechanism by far, accommodating both wet food and meal worms. I feel this little one has a really strong chance and we owe it to your documentary.

Thank you so much for this video. I found 3 hatchlings in a nest which had fallen from a palm tree. They have very few feathers so I keep them warm near the rays of the sun. Two seem strong but the 3rd is small and weak. They all eat well. I am worried about the management of their evolution but your video has given me great ideas. So thank you so much from Barbados.

Found a bird (initially thought robin, later found out pigeon baby)... so cold in the rainy floor..... It helped BEST if they are placed in a dark room (ideally on a tray with fluffy soft old cotton cloths to keep them warm + a small plastic bottle filled with warm water and wrapped in cloth so they can snuggle up near its warmth) they fall asleep within 10-15 mins & can safely recover for 1 day and then regular day cycle, in a quite corner (like store room). Also ideal to feed them CERELAC liquid food with a 1-2 mm piercing in a glove/baloon streched onto a plastic bottle, then they open mouth & EASILY EAT AS MUCH AS THEY NEED (usually 5-10 ml in one go).... Good luck & thank you 🕊👏🙏

Today we found an abandoned baby bird. She was a cardinal. She ate some food. I made her a nice cozy lil shelter. I loved her so, so, so much. But I knew that it wasn't right. I saw her parents around the place, so I put her back in the place that I found her. Now I just pray that her parents accept her. I pray. She was so feisty I loved her. She climbed all over my shirt and tried to fly everywhere. She was about to stop breathing and I put an idol of Lord Ganesh (I'm Hindu) next to her and she started to come alive again. God is watching over her. I can't stop crying cause it's my fault if she dies. Love to all.

Super sweet. I currently have one baby Robin that was only a day old when it was tossed out of the nest by bigger siblings. You do know that these guys are fledglings and get kicked out of the nest before they can fly. That is normal Robin behaviour. Their parents still feed them even though they are hoping around and in bushes etc...probably didn't need saving but nice that you kept them safe from that cat and other predetors.

Fantastic idea! I end up every year with baby robins that have fallen out of the nest and I always end up having to take them to the vet school to raise them because I've never been able to figure out how to make a replacement nest! I'm going to get one ready because I know it's going to be needed!

Thank goodness for your video! We just found a baby nestling robin in our driveway with no nest in sight :( I think he will make it thanks to this information! It's too late to get kitten food tonight so oatmeal/hotdog mush will do. And man was he a hungry little birdy! Thanks again!

So wholesome to watch this. I looked this up because I found one baby bird on the side of the road. One hop in the wrong direction and it would have been, ran over. It barely moved. I almost thought it was dead already. But it was so sad to see how scared it was. I didn't see a nest but I also didn't hear any mama birds freaking out or hovering around. So I scooped it up ...no fight and it just snuggled up in my basket

Thankyou for your care help and concern, I took care of a baby bird don't know it's name but I gave him airplane flying exercise in the cold brought some small orange tree and green plants I miss him or she but one day let him go to a big tree and happy off he went with others...miss it but I knew its time would come to go back into its nature...by the way it love to eat alot and waited till his baby feathers were gone..you did an awesome job love people that care..God bless and JESUS loves you..thankyou again

I raised a robin that fell out of a tree. It still had part of the shell on it's heas. He lived!

Thank You..Heartwarming..little precious birds
