Last night I came home from work, and a piece of my upstairs neighbors balcony was on my deck. I didn’t think much of it, I left a message for maintenance and went on with my normal life. My dog wanted to go outside, and I let him out, and he refused to come in, which is odd for him. (It is dark outside by this time) I finally go out and make him come inside, making him drop something that was in his mouth (I couldn’t see what it was, I just figured it was a piece of wood) This morning I go out and look on the porch, and right where I made him drop his “piece of wood” Is a flailing baby bird on it’s back. I didn’t know what to do, so I scooped it up in a towel and placed him in a box, which is resting on top of my privacy fence. The nest seems to have been in the balcony above my deck, but I see no other baby birds. I have seen a few birds take some interest in the nestling, but none of them have actually gone right to it.
Age- He’s a nestling, downy like hair, the start of feathers on his wings, and a bare underbelly. Alive and well. For now.
I saw something on the side of his box (I can see him from my window) And went to look, and it looks like another bird has relieved itself on his makeshift nest.
It may have fallen from above…
I decided to see if he made it through the day. He did and I called a wildlife rehabilitation center and I will be driving him up in the morning. Thank you for all the responses.
