Oh, Hi "Zaise" and all, well, if it what I am thinking upon initially reading this, I am thinking maybe this needs to be moved to the Bird Emergency section below?
My daughter Debra aka Zaise has seen a robin fluttering around in her apartment complex since last Saturday. Last evening she got a closer look at it and it needed attention and a safe haven like pronto! She caught it and brought it over last night. We isolated the poor thing. It has been through some heck, but we will sure give it our best try. It is missing its tail feathers and a good portion of its left wing. It has been through a battle. It is still alive. It seems to be a fighter.

What a shame! I sure hope all will go well with this little one. Know you will do your best, Victor.
Have you worked with Robins before? I'm sure members with experience will be on soon. BEST OF EVERYTHING! SENDING HEALING THOUGHTS along with LOVE HUGS and SCRITCHES for a complete recovery! I know you will keep us updated! Shi

When my children were very young and tender, I would "find" out things they did that they sometimes did that they maybe shouldn't have done. The little bird who would tell me (a robin as a matter of fact) named Oliver, would tell on them.
 She named him Oliver.

I called home a while ago, and Oliver is still perky and appearing to be doing well, considering the ordeal he went through with what ever it was.
As I mentioned, he lost his tail feathers, and a good part of his left wing is missing. He ate fruit today and did some "chirping". We will post a picture Saturday. I also posted on Starling Talk.

Today, I took him out of his small carrier, and cleaned it ot. He is quite frisky and bit me a few times when I reached in the box to put him hack in.
He had quite an appitite today.  His meal consisited of fresh corn, green beans, and watermelon dipped in seeds (he really likes the melon) . Tomorrow I start him on his Mac Diet type feeding.This one is a fighter, It is amazing. I am continuing the amoxicllian and ACV water.

I am very sad to report that Oliver passed away quietly in his little carrier. I just got a call at work from Bev.
It is hard when you try to help one of these little creatures, only to loose them.  I really had some hopes for this Robin. As bad shape he was in, we were sure he would pull through This one was a true fighter. He made it at least a week after his attack. Amazing little bird.

I am so terribly sorry, Victor!
WHAT a shock to be reading along and cheering the little one on and then come to an abrupt halt to see the baby died!! I know you and your family did the best you could and he was in wonderful hands! With LOVE AND HUGS Shi

I am so sorry that Oliver didn't make it. Thank you for offering him supportive care to keep him comfortable and give him a chance for recovery. I wish it has turned out differently.

Victor, I'm sorry to hear about Oliver and wishing that s/he could still be with
us but also knowing that you took this little one in and gave the bird a safe and caring environment. It sounds as though Oliver simply didn't get into your hands soon enough to enjoy a new start. Thank you and your family for trying to help. fp
