Baby robins grow fast. In just two weeks they are the size of their parents! Why do you think the parents sleep on a nearby branch after the first week, except when it rains?

Robin parents have full-time jobs. They protect the nest, find food, and feed hungry babies. The babies are in the nest for at least 9 days, or as long as 16 days.

Who do you think does the most work: mom or dad?
