Would you.....


Let nature take its course?....or intervene..

The missus found a little fluffy robin on the garden path this afternoon...put it back in in its nest...
This happened three times today....
Brother in law had a fit...."let nature take its course" he said..."leave it alone"
We did the the opposite and put it in the nest again.
It was at the flapping its wings and running around fast stage...
What are we supposed to do...what would you do?

Well with what I have seen in and around my garden,with those murdering cats I would keep doing what you're doing,at least your giving the poor thing a chance +1 from me m8

Bet it's getting tired of you lot, lol.
It's building up the courage to leave the nest and thanks to you has had to do it 3 times

Some years ago a mate and I were making our way to the pub for Sunday service when we heard an almighty commotion in the hedgerows beside us. A sparrowhawk or similar had grabbed hold of a small bird which was squealing like hell, my mate was trying to rescue it but I told him it's nature, don't interfere.
We carried on walking feeling sorry for the bird but that's their life.

Do what feels right for you. I personally would put it back in it’s nest and if it gets to live a life with a little helping hand, I see no harm done imo.

They've probably realised it's pointless, escape is impossible.

I'd pop it back in it nest too mate, but my decision is swayed by the fecking tom cat next door who has left us 3 headless pigeons on our front lawn in 2 weeks.

Yep, most can evaluate their own situation with the use of common sense.
Then there's the bird brains that need it spoon feeding
