My cousin (she’s about 11 and is always taking care of some kind of critter) was at her great grandmother’s house, my nextdoor neighbor, and a baby bird fell out of a tree in the back yard of the next house over. The bird hopped it’s way into my neighbor’s backyard where her dog decided to chase it. My cousin caught the bird before the dog even touched it, so there are no physical injuries to the bird, but we need to care for it until it starts learnig to fly. It is a fledgling, it has most of it’s feathers and just a little baby fuzz left, but it’s still somewhat on the ugly side. We think it was trying to learn to fly when it ended up in my neighbors yard. The mother is nowhere to be found, and it wouldn’t be safe outside with the dog running around. So we want to raise it until it can fly and feed itself. Are there any bird experts out there who can help me? Or does anyone have any good suggestions on good websites with good care information on baby blackbirds?
