Well, I’ve seen the parents on the fence. Most of my garden is in the backyard around this porch.
And from the looks of it, they are bringing him back live food. Grubs and caterpillers and the like.
So I was wondering about worms - I have a mondo compost pile back there and if you dig down a foot, there are billions of those red worms everybody says to use in your garden. Seems like they’d be just about the right size, this bird doesn’t look big enough to handle a good sized nightcrawler!
Then an eyedropper and some mashed worms should work. If you see the parents, they’ll probably get back to work if you stay out of sight. Just sent a prayer for you and the little feathered one.
Yay, for mom and dad back on the job. I have rescued a few squirrels in my time, and definitely learned a new found respect and understanding for the lives of wild moms and dads.
Hopefully you can just keep an eye out for a few days, and make sure things are back to regular. The good news is, they grow extraordinarily fast :o
Thank You Lord, for blessings unexpected.
