A robin made a nest in my porch fern hanging basket [View all]

I have been VERY careful when I water it, and she seems to tolerate me when I announce that I am there to water. Anyway, I think those beautiful little blue eggs have hatched and I was wondering if I should get them some millet sprays, or something to kinda welcome them...

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Robins are not seed eaters. The ones in my yard seem to prefer earthworms. Arkansas Granny Apr 2020 #1
