Baby robin

Something killed a mother robin who had nested under our deck. 2 out of 3 babies were gone, one sat on the ground for about 4hrs. We put it in a box hoping it'd be found (dad robin??) After a fee more hours, we fed it some berries..now 10 days later, it flies but is 100% attached to us and has no fear of humans or predators. We've put it in the woods behind our house, and it sleeps in trees at night but returns to our porch every morning for breakfast.. we tried ignoring it which makes it even more aggressive as far as flying at people and perching on human heads..as sooN as he hears us talking outside he shows up, wanting to perch on us.. what do we do?

Hi Mandy, Is the Robin still hanging out close-by? If so, try banging pots and pans at it whenever it approaches. If that doesn't work, let me know.
