(Merula migratoria) how many eggs were laid). Two of those
young either left the nest or were taken from it by the
family cat on August 10th. The remaining young bird left
it on the afternoon of August 11th or just about a
month after the female bird began sitting.
  So far as we could ascertain (and the nest was
kept under very close observation by several people) the
male Robin took no part either in incubating the
eggs or feeding the young. In fact all that he did
was to sit in an elm over the house & sing. He
did not cease singing until about a week before the 
last young bird took wing.
