Caring for a baby Robin

My friend and her boys rescued this little bird from being attacked by other birds. After caring for it for a couple days, they asked if we'd like to give it a world. We jumped at the awesome life lessons and homeschool opportunity. 

We went out in the pouring rain and dug up worms, threw them in the blender and fed the little guy with a syringe. 

We researched like crazy and looked up Robin calls and chirps. It was a really cool experience! Unfortunately, the poor dear didn't last the day. 

Maybe it's better that way since proper care for a bird his age would have been feedings every 30-40 mins.:(.
