Adventures in Entrepreneurship with Jeremy Hanks

The Robin Cam

*** UPDATE: The baby Robins have left the nest and ventured into the big bad world. Best of luck little Robins. Way to take the leap of faith, it was fun watching you grow up so quickly! I’ll try to post a photo album sometime soon.***

These Robins built a nest on the ledge right outside my 3rd story office window at Doba.

They’re a pretty common bird (320 Million population). State bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Wikipedia has all things American Robin covered. But there’s something pretty remarkable about this common bird that I’ve probably seen literally thousands of in my life.

They’ve been there for a bit. The eggs hatch after 14 days, and then the young leave the nest after another two weeks.

So waste a little time and check out the Robin Cam:

***UPDATE – We’ve taken the Robin Cam down since they’ve all left. Here’s a pic of the final baby debating wether he should jump from a 3rd story window and see if he can fly. ***

I think entrepreneurs could learn something from these guys. #1 skill I wish I had more of as an entrepreneur? Patience. She sits there nearly all day and all night long.

#2 skill I wish I had more of as an entrepreneur? Persistence. Once these guys hatch, they’ll feed them up to 100 times per day.

PS – Thanks Joel (Doba’s great wizard of IT) for setting up the webcam!!
