Meet Zippy. I’ve named him (or her) Zippy because he/she must have zipped right into a window. I suppose it’s also possible it fell out of a tree. Either way it’s injured and can’t fly. I found it chilling on the sidewalk and picked it up and put it in a box. As it escaped my first box, I found him wandering in the street again and I moved it to a bigger box. It then escaped my bigger box and I put a lid on his escape attempts. He has about 10% flight so hopefully in the next 10 minutes he makes a full recovery and can once again soar with his friends. I’ll keep his life updated.
*The Zipster is no longer with us. It makes me think that he would have been better off without my assistance. Before my hands of death got a hold of him, he was hopping along without a care in the world. You could make the case that he died warm and safe instead of getting run over by a car, but I’m not so certain that was better. He went from viral to petering out in a mere hour. RIP.
Whoopsies:
Avoid trying to feed or provide water to the bird. You will likely get the diet of the bird wrong, plus young birds can die if they drink water wrong
I was just going to suggest that perhaps the 1/2 of a meatball sub he ate may have contributed to his demise…
I’m 99% sure I killed it at this point.
Yet somehow, Pigeons and Seagulls eat gum and all kinds of food waste and don’t miss a beat. Evolution in action.
Now you and Bud are tied at 1 in bird responsibility deaths
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
