You can see 'em [here](http://www.speakeasy.org/~bletts/MVC-783L.JPG). If’n you remember [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=116586) thread, you’ll know I had a robin’s nest outside my home office window. Well, I thought I’d check on it today, and looky-see, there’s BABIES in it. Lil’ ROBIN babies! Welcome to the world, Pip and Squeak and Hob and Nob. One o’ you is still an egg, but I bet you’ll hatch soon! ---

Cute, in a kind of fuzzy-fetus way. Good photography too. ---

Way cute… That reminds me of the time I was living in Reston Va. The company I worked for had a big pond and a lot of geese hung out in the area. Every spring the geese would come out trailing a bunch of little chicks behind them. A nice visual for a smoke break… Slee ---

On first glance, I thought the thread title was: **CHECK IT OUT! I got RABIES!** which would be a strange thing to be bragging about. I’m glad it’s not. 🙂 ---

How cool! We had a robins nest outside our house last year. Sadly, one of the eggs never hatched, but the other two (maybe three? I don’t remember) did and grew into perfectly lovely robins. ---

Awww, so cute…I’m glad you have them and not me, 'cause the last baby bird that hatched around here got blown out of its nest and the cats got it. ☹ ---

Oh my gosh! How cute! Congratulations, **Vicarious Aunt Athena!** 😃 My SO is currently raising 3 baby blue-jays that were abandoned. (Either that, or his cat got ahold of the mom. :() He or his mom has to feed them every two hours, and eventually I guess they will have to go back in the wild. They were in a nest at the top of the drainage pipe for the gutter, and they fell out. The mom has not been seen since then. But they seem happy and healthy, so I guess all’s well for now. Keep us updated!
