I just looked up about when baby Robins leave their safe nests and it said this:

*

Baby robins typically leave the nest (fledge) about 13 to 16 days after hatching. From the time eggs are laid to the moment the chicks leave, the entire process takes about a month. 
They often leave before they can fly perfectly, spending several days on the ground learning to fly.

*

I never dreamed they left home that young,  they must be very vulnerable still.  
Good luck babies.

I could never live in a block of flats if I could help it.   I know I couldn't live with constant noise,  like people who play loud music,  loud TV,  noisy party's,  kids screaming etc.
 I like my garden, even if it is only a small one,  it's therapeutic -  noise isn't.

General Discussion / High Density Housing
Last post by muddy - Today at 03:33:13 PM
It seems to be the government policy to build high density housing .
Blocks of flats going up let right and centre .
It's sad that people have to live like this especially families with children .
Where do they play and even at home they mustn't make too much noise .
Children should have a garden to play in .

Also other people may be annoyed by people above below and to the side of them .
A bad neighbour is bad everywhere but must be worse in a flat .

Yet it would seem inevitable that at some point I will end up in a flat as so many old people do especially when they are left alone .
Would rather live in a little house with some outdoor space .
Although a pent house flat with a terrace for pots  sounds OK
But AFAIK flats in the U.K. seem to have tiny balconies if any and no storage for people so they stuff everything on the balconies .
Why don't they build nice ones?

At the moment live in a bungalow with large garden ( by the standards of today not by mine )
But at least quiet and away from the maddin crowd .
