Emby the Rescued Robin Takes a Bath in the Frying Pan

Emby is a super sassy rescued American Robin who regularly likes to play in the kitchen sink to see if there are a few bites left over from her human family's dinner. This time she went exploring and not only did she find a bit of yummy snack, but the dirty frying pan looked so inviting that she jumped right in and took a bath!

Emby was found when she was just a few days old by the family dog, and was raised by hand. Her bird family's nest was destroyed by neighborhood crows, and she fell a long distance to the ground below. Unfortunately, her sibling did not make it. Emby sat in the grass for a long time, hungry and dehydrated and is lucky to have survived at all.

Human-imprinting is a form of learning when an animal gains its sense of species identification. Birds do not automatically know what they are when they hatch and visually imprint on their parents during the period of development. If birds imprint on humans, they pick up some habits that they wouldn’t usually have in the wild.

Because she imprinted on humans, Emby cannot live in the wild. She is not afraid of dogs, cats or humans, and so would not know to avoid these possible dangers. It is important to note that if a baby bird is found in distress, it is essential to contact a local avian rescue!
