I have a Robin’s next on the beam under my deck so I stuck a Wyze Cam up there to watch the babies grow.

I am amazed at nature. The chick lifts its butt, poops and it comes out in a little baggie so mom can take it out of the nest. At least that is what hope she is doing with it in this video. A bluebird removes the baggie. The robin, not so sure.

I wondered what was going on there. I don’t recall ever seeing that before, so it seemed odd to me.

Mama Robin took food out of the nest and just swallowed it. I expected to see her give it to the other baby.

No, that was NOT food. Two of the chicks pooped and mama took it away from the nest.

Oh interesting. I never thought about that before, but it totally makes sense. I learned something new today.
I’m definitely not going to clean up my little one’s messy diapers this way though.

It’d be a solid Wyzies entry if you did, though!

The first time I changed our newborn’s diaper, I just pulled the tabs like I was opening a bag of chips. I didn’t except to be hit in the face with little rabbit turds.

That’s another way of saying, mamma ate the poop

Rabbit turds? Mine looked like a bottle of mustard had exploded

That was later when he was teething. I carried him at arms length through a store, with him dripping diarrhea. My wife was cleaning as we went. It was in his socks too.

That have no taste buds so everything must “taste” like worms to them

My taste buds were violently reacting to the thought of it.
