Will the baby robins be OK out of their nest?

I am stressing about baby robin nest I had in privacy shrub by my deck. Mama had 4 hatchings and I could see them each day from window.

Yesterday, two of them fledged from the nest and it was so loud in the back yard (loved it). Anyway- I was outside briefly and I totally messed up and startled the two that were still in the nest. They jumped out! One made it out of the shrub and the other was hanging around it in for awhile. I gently put it back in nest and saw (from my window) that it left shortly after I placed it back. I was upset that they prematurely left because of me.

When I checked later in the day- none of them were on the ground by the shrub, unable to fly.

My Q is- do they all tend to fledge around the same time? I know a couple of them hatched a day later than the others, and if I hadn’t startled them, they may have stayed in nest another day and developed stronger wings??

No need to stress out about the situation with the young robins. Young birds will frequently jump out of nests too early for all kinds of reasons.

The adults will still care for them until they are able to fly. The adults will continue to feed the young for days to even several weeks after the young have fledged.

You can frequently see young birds that are all puffed out and actually look larger than their adult begging them for food. It’s very fun to watch.
