Facts about birds

[oakenguy]

This just in: pigeons who've just left the nest are ADORKABLE, big eyes and long neck and "how the heck did I get here?!?" expression. I've never seen a bird and thought "GEEK!" before, but the little guy I met this morning changed that.

I hope he'll be okay. I have no direct experience, but I imagine that in the time of your birdlife when your total flights number between 1 and 10, phrases like "easy prey" and "sharp learning curve" pop up a lot.

(That's right, btw, this WAS posted while I walked to work. IPhone and multitasking for the win!)

You're welcome! The more people know that it's okay to do so, the more little fledglings get put in safer places after falling. :)

The only danger comes to you if mom or dad takes umbrage to you trying to move them, but that's generally minimal (unless you're dealing with blue jays). Most birds recognize that dive-bombing a human is a silly endeavor, and will stay out of the way whilst you move the fledgie to a safe spot :)
