I'm going to have fun with this little one.
This morning (still in bed half asleep~with eyes closed) I heard a cherping from the Robin. I thought nothing of it cause I had put some food in her cage the night before. Then I heard something scratching on my floor, I role over and look down and there, all puffed up and sreaming on the top of her lungs, was the Robin!! I quickly caught her and noticed she ate ALL the berries in the cage and riped off her body/wing wrap! I guess now I don't have to take it off myself. lol I found out where she got out a blocked it off, she's not too happy about it but she's fine. I gave her more berries and she just inhaled them! Marvin gave her a look this morning, during his own feeding, but after that doesn't want to be bothered with her (thank God!). I'll be doing the figure 8 wrap as soon as I can find my wraps. Other than the little escape she's doing fine. I'll try and get some picture of her for you all! Hilary Dawn

Hilary,
Your robin needs protein on top of fruit. Protein would be a normal part of her diet, and protein promotes healing, too.Are you able to catch grasshoppers/crickets for her? Or buy crickets at pet shop? Daryl
