She said it wouldn't stay in the nest, and knowing her outside cat would get it, I had to bring it home. When I got there, she told me there was another one somewhere running around my yard. Took about an hour, but I found her sitting on the ground. We put them in a cage and set them outside on our covered deck to see if the parents would take care of them. It wasn't too long before daddy showed up with food in his mouth and flew into the cage. Because of the cat next door, one of us had to sit outside constantly watching over the little ones from 5:30 am until 8:30 pm. daily, and helping supplement feeding when daddy bird didn't come around for a while. This went on for about a week. Then, having trouble finding food, the daddy stopped coming around. So, we brought the cage inside where we now hand-feed every 1/2 hour. Their diet consists of earthworms, assorted fruits, greens from sprouted birdseed, mealworms, and hard-boiled egg yolk. We will continue to care for them until they can eat on their own and fly. With 200 trees on our property, I'm hoping after they can be set free they will stick around and even come visit us from time to time.</p> blog/post/2729086 Sun 27 Jun 2010 12:00:00 AM GMT <p>Post</p> blog/post/64
