Birds fallen from nest! What to do?

[PD9]

Threads like this are just joyous to read on a Sunday morning. Well done to all the bird rescuers out there!

Just got a young pigeon off Guzzi, Magpie making loads of noise! He seems ok, if a bit weak. He's in a cat box with some food and water in the conservatory at the moment, we'll see how he progresses, if he makes it through the next day I'll put him in a bigger cage so he can stretch his wings and build his strength up, prior to release.

Bad news, he didn't make it.

Nature is hard, sometimes.

Parents often reject the 'weaklings'. Don't feel too bad - you did what you could.

Haven't heard any tweeting from the "nest" for a while, got the ladder out to have a look.

2 didn't make it But on the bright side I suppose that means the other two did.
