Last March after returning home from Fort Meyers, Florida I noticed this Robbin's nest on my parents windowsill. I wasn't too sure how long the three eggs had been there so I did a little reasearch. Based on my research I was able to conclude that the eggs would hatch in 14 days, except I didn't know when the eggs had been laid. After checking them everyday finally after four days they had hatched, however after two days I checked on the new babies and they were dead. Clearly the mother got spooked everytime my parents walked into their room and she abandoned the nest and the babies caught a chill.
:( Does anyone know of a company/service that will take in wounded/ abondond birds? I have had too many encounters with un lucky birds :(

Owen my friend! Funny you ask such a question.
DeleteYou can call 311 in Toronto and just report a dead animal anywhere in the city and under 8 hours it will be picked up and properly disposed of.
What if the bird is still alive though, Nick?

If it is still alive and you call the the city of Toronto all they are going to say is to not touch it and if they do come pick it up the bird will be euthanzied, meaning they kill it.
