| 2009-05-15 | Marji | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I know the harshness of reality, is sometimes hard to swallow. I didn't like Mr. Walshaw's answer, but I know he's right. Nature must take it's course. Thank you, Mr. Walshaw, for your dose of reality. |
| 2009-05-15 | Darlene | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I am sorry if I am being stubborn but the building is made out of stone it is about 40 to 50 ft high. But I am pretty sure that the parents know where it is and it is somewhat sheltered. Thank you! |

| 2009-05-14 | Brenda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks alot. Will try the suggestion!!! |
| 2009-05-14 | Linda Seibert | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | appreciated his quick response and his answers were very helpful to me and I am sure to others who might have had the same type of question. I did ask another question but he did not answer that one. It was to do with robins laying their eggs once in the spring and then again in the summer another 2 or 3 eggs? seems like those poor robins have no rest other then when they sit on the nest for those 12 to 14 days. I think they can have second laying of eggs, I think it depends on the weather at least that is what I was told. Thanks again to you Bob Walshaw, taking your time to answer all the hundreds of emails is not a small task and then you are doing it out of the goodness of your heart. Very commendable. best linda seibert |

| 2009-05-05 | Mary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow such a fast response! You are great. Now I can let the robins build as they wish and the kids will be able to observe them (with adult supervision). |
