    We also saved his life, apparently the conservation officer came and rescued him, yesterday after I left work. I can’t believe how calm he was with us for 2 days. I stood about only 10 feet away from him. In all the pictures I took of him, he don’t look scared at all.

    Regards, Rod.

  • Gail Bridger replied

    Thank you again, Rod!!
    This little fellow couldn’t fly away, he was at my workplace for 2 days didn’t get off the ground. We called the conservation officer to come and get him. Unbelieveable, I came within 3-4 feet from him. I shot maybe 60-70 pictures of him in the 2 days. He just stayed around in one area, didn’t seem like he was hurt, just couldn’t fly! Someone was telling me that if they gorge themselves it takes awhile before they can fly, he must have had a scoff! :) A friend went and sat with him on the lowest branch where he was perched, talked to him and gently put a bag over him, then the friend just handed him over to the conservation officer. It was amazing!!!
