| Re: Ethical dilemma - hand-taming young robins
I'm not quite sure why you would want to hand tame a wild bird like this. I would ask one question: Is it in the bird's best interests? I can't really see that it is. Yes, we intervene in other ways such a providing bird feeders but that is unequivocally in the birds' best interests. It helps them to survive. Feed the birds by all means but I see no need for hand taming.
