It is very likely that any fluid will go straight to it's lungs. I realize how old this post is, but for anyone else reading, this information might be useful... If you find a baby robin that is in it's "pinky stage" (no feathers) it's important to try and find the nest it came from. It's very rare that a new born survives on human care. If it's fuzzy, but not really feathery, the same thing applys (although with a higher success rate- if it has been abandoned) Most people find a baby robin in the last stage of its development. It has mostly all it's feathers and a small stub tail. This baby bird more than likely jumped out of it's nest. The mother and father allow the small bird to jump around and strengthen it's wings or a couple of weeks whille still providing food and protection for it. If you're positive that it's been abandoned, I recommed feeding it small pieces of wet dog food every 45 min- 1 hour. It's VERY important that the bird eats that often. As a baby, mother spends all day finding food & bringing it back to him. It's also important that the baby bird is in sunlight as much as possible. It helps it develope necessary vitamins. The bird will sleep at night for a good 8 hours if you let it. Just keep it in a warm, quiet, and dark place. Robins at this last stage develope rather quickly. Everyday you'll begin to see changes in his personality. He'll soo begin teaching himself to fly & it's important that he's outside to do so. Soon (within a week or so) it may be confident enough to fly and not return to you again. This means you have successfully rescued and released a baby robin! :-D I hope this helps! emersonc Fri, 01 Jun 2007 05:16:21 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/robin 60428
