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??
