Oh fuck a Robin!

Well that's common the young was kicked out of the nest and the parents will watch it for 3 weeks or so 

 

I'm surprised she didn't attack you or start screaming at you for being near her young

Alright.. my girl wanted me to shoot it when I got home because she thought it was injured... It's on the ground so I'm assuming that's normal.

It won't be able to fly for at least  2 more weeks if you don't see the parents taking care of it that means its sick

K... Fuck it then.

And Piper almost ripped it apart.

Beagles are hunters so it wouldn't be surprising if she brought it inside 

If you won't outside with her the parent Robin's would attack her in order to protect the young

That is pretty young to have been kicked out of the nest. I'm guessing that it's the last hatched and got booted by accident by the bigger ones in the nest. It doesn't even have pinfeathers on it's tail yet.

As long as there's a parent in the area, it's an ok baby as others have said. Just keep other animals away from it. Robins are fairly good parents so don't be surprised if you see one or the other actively leading the little one across the yard to someplace they feel is 'safer' . 

On the extreme end of things, if you are aware of an empty nest fairly close to where the baby is now [it doesn't have to be the actual robin's nest] you could try scooping it up while the parent watches and placing it in that nest. It's actually a myth that touching baby birds will cause the parents to abandon them - it's not the scent that drives them away, it's people continuing to go back and bug the baby. In the nest and then get the hell out of there and leave everyone alone. If the parents are happy with the placement, they'll continue to feed the baby there until it's strong enough to flutter somewhere else. And if they aren't, the baby will end up on the ground again and be walked to someplace else. 

I've had my share of wild bird rehabs growing up including robins.
