So EFO found a baby chickadee on the sidewalk on the way home from school today; she picked him up and walked with him all the way home, where we set him up in a little nestbox in a cage in the kitchen, and I have been feeding him mush off a popsicle stick. He's probably just a few days from flight, but not quite ready, and just as fearless as can be! He only eats if I cradle him in my palm, and is reluctant to leave my hand. Right now he's on his perch sleeping with his head under his wing DAWWWWWWW OH GOD AGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH how can anything be that CUTE???

Three days on mush and canned puppy food, then back to where she found him (he should have a flock there) and hope that the other birds show him the ropes before he gets eaten.
