Boys are back in town...

Robins' chicks hatched and flown a few weeks ago... Me and my niece are wondering why the robins are still returning to the nest in our shed. Is it possible for them to lay more eggs? My niece went to have a peek in the nest and it flew out when she nudged the jumper it was on. And we are curious as to why the robins are still there... Why would they still be using the nest ??

That is great news, I am not sure if they have a second brood though.
Someone will know I am sure.

Does that mean you can cut your grass now?

It does sound like they are onto the next brood.

Yep, not sure if 4 or 5 in nest...
about ready to jump out/fly now, I think.
Robins loving the mealworm...

yes robins do normally have more than one brood so wait and then check again in a week or two and hopefully you will have a second clutch good luck. rossy.
