Little baby birds have been falling out of the house for two days now.
Yesterday I was sitting in the yard harvesting dandelion greens and a
baby bird walked over to me, talking up a storm. It took me a while to
figure out what to do about it. Eventually I figured out what hole in
the eaves that it had come out of. I tried to put it back, but it fell.
I had to go retrieve it again. The second attempt worked, and they baby
bird joined its sibling mate at looking at me out of the hole.
This morning I walked around the corner of the house and there was a
baby bird sitting on the sidewalk. I said to myself, "Oh, great, can't
they control themselves?" So I picked this one up, mind you I am not
touching them but with hats and shirts and gloves... and I was walking
around front to show David... we were in the process of mixing up a
bucket of poltice... and there was another baby bird sitting on the
ground chirping at me. So I scoped them both up in my hat, thinking they
had come from the same hole. I stuffed them both back in the hole but
they did not seem to fit. A few minutes later one of them was back on
the ground again. So then I realized there are two holes and I was
trying to stuff one of the baby birds in the wrong hole. I went around
to the side of the house and we got the ladder and I stuffed the baby
bird back up into the eaves on that side of the house. Not sure if I got
it in the correct hole, or not. Seems they are starlings, least ways the
birds that I assume are parents and that are freaking out making all
sorts of noise in the trees are starlings.
These baby birds are way too young to be on the ground, they can't fly,
and we have neighborhood cats that come around when the dog is not out.
