I am sorry about the baby robbins.. I am surethe weather had something to do with it. About aweek ago.. I was walking back to the apartment after getting my sonTyler off the bus.. We see a baby bird.. It was actully quite big butyou could tell it was a baby.. It was crying up to thetree.. There was another one on the ground dead.. Icalled a friend and he picked the bird up, and got of hold of someonebut they couldnt get the bird till the next day. It turnedout to be a baby crow. It was so cute.. we feltgood we saved its life and got it in the right hands for someone totake care of it.

I really don't know if you should take the nest down or not.. I am sure somoene else might know.

aw that is really sad. I think itwould be best to leave the nest where it is as the general rule forwild animals is not to intervene unless it is absolutelyessential. I am not an expert though that is just what Iwould think based on other experiences.
