Robin Eggs - I do not know what to do
These eggs were in my backyard, on the ground, hatching out. No nest, no parents, nothing. Funny thing, they were not there yesterday.
Anyway, I put them in a human made nest and put them on top of my brick bar-b-cue grill (not used). I hope the parents find them, they are hatching out and they are going to die

I doubt there will be a happy outcome to this, but this may help. Know that you did your best for these little guys, in any case!

Thanks Mike. I have been googling all over on this. Basically, you are right, I did all I can. I cannot "raise" them, even if I did know what to do, the chances of survival for them are very slim unless the parents find them.
It is so odd, to find three robin eggs next to each other on the ground and no nest and no parents. What is even stranger, is the fact they are hatching.

Two adult robins are "hanging" around the nest. They have not went to the babies, but they look at them. I do not know if they are the parents, or they are just interested in them. They do not stay long, but they do come back every once in a while. I hope they are the parents or will adopt the little ones.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what word is there on the robins?
