In our little garden, I noticed a pair of robins building a nest.
In a pair of robins, the male brings nesting material to his female partner as she builds the nest. The female builds a nest with mud as the base and lines it with grasses, twigs, and other plant material.They build nests on branches or ledges.
Female robins lay only one bright blue egg a day and usually lay three or four eggs. Robin eggs have a beautiful blue color without spots or streaks (unfortunately I missed that time).
One day I noticed that the nest was filled with a family of three robins and both parents were feeding their young. A pair of robins feeding a hungry family delivers 100 to 150 meals a day to the nest. Each robin can eat its weight in insects, worms and berries throughout the day.
