Robins singing their beautiful song of joy
It wasn’t love at first sight, but they both knew they would remain together until their fledglings were at least two weeks old. As usual, Mrs. Robin or Bee, as they called her, built the nest from twigs and grass or even brightly colored ribbon if it were to be found. She liked adding that special touch of ribbon to her home.
Building their home was no simple task. She had to make sure it was sturdy enough to hold at least the 4 new additions to their family and to protect them from the elements. She couldn’t afford to build an inferior home. Not only did it have to protect her family, but it also had to help serve as an incubator.
The big day arrives and Bee lays 4 blue eggs each the size of a quarter. She continues to sit on her nest for the next 10-12 days, with “Hood,” the dad, protecting their home as Bee takes her occasional breaks. Bee makes sure she keeps her home warm, safe and dry.
As their eggs hatch, Bee and Hood inspect their fledglings. Hood is mighty proud of his new family. Hood "struts his stuff" as only a Robin could. He is extremely protective of his crew, dive bombing enemies if they approach.
The proud parents protected and feed their new additions until they were about 2 weeks-old. After all the fledglings have “flown the coup,” Bee and Hood say their goodbyes, each flying off in a different direction singing their beautiful song of joy…
Names of the robins were inspired by "Robin Hood" and the "Bee Gees."
