More from my film days--this is a robin the girls and I raised. We named it Cheep-Cheep cause every time it seen us it was hungry and started cheeping, telling us to hurry up. We do not know for sure what happened to it...we had it from much smaller than this, till not too long after this. We left for vacation and when the kid came to feed it, someone had let it out of it's cage. It may have survived on its own...just don't know for sure.
