    I have a Carolina Wrens that nests in our bathroom & vestibule every year for the past 5 years. When they fledge, it is a crazy time…sliding all over the sink and hiding in the shower. In the vestibule they are all over our heads or shoulders, trying to figure out how to fly

    No worries, Ginger, will have to look at more of your work. I hope the little fella survived. He looks young to be out of the nest. What sort of bird is he/she?

  • Ginger Barritt replied

    Actually, this was the time of spring when all the little ones were jumping out of the nest, my yard was full of every type….as for what this one was? I see them in the trees, but am just not educated enough regarding birds and really don’t know….he was literally the size of my thumb, but so were the parents!!!!

    This is adorable! I once raised a baby sparrow that had fallen out of a tree with two other babies. The two were gone when we found them, but i managed to save the third one. Of course my vet thought I was nut’s when I called him to find out what to feed a baby bird that hadn’t opened it’s eye’s yet nor did it have feathers. He explained to me what to do and by golly….that little bird grew and I swear it thought I was it’s mama. We set him free when he was able to fly. This is why I love sparrows. :)

  • Ginger Barritt replied

    Oh, that is a wonderful story….My mom had a blue jay she raised from a baby once…..It use to land on her shoulder even after it was released into the yard!!!
