It's a baby sparrow, whose nest was destroyed in a storm. Someone brought it to the pet store where Gregg works. I used to rehab baby birds so Gregg brought it home for some tlc. I kept it for two days, while I was off, and got it back on it's feet so to speak. Now the girls at the store are caring for it again. And he's already fledged--it doesn't take long with small birds, and no one has to teach them--so he'll be released soon.
I love Pudding's last comment. The babies hawks were jumping out of the nest here a few months ago when out of the blue we went from 90 to 115 in a day. This when on for a two weeks. The poor babies. The habitat group close to me had so many babies people found and brought in. It was just too hot.

Poor darling, he looks hungry.
He wasn't hungry for long! He's been eating like a champ!
Another mouth to feed...
What kind of bird is it? Did you find it in a nest? Is it a he or a she? How are you going to teach it how to fly?

Phew! That's a relief. I had a mental image of you wearing goggles and ascending the skies in a motorised paraglider with the orphan following you.

cheers, parsnip
Poor baby, I hope he/she will be alright. I wonder whether the parents weren't still around, looking for their little ones after the storm.
