Baby Blackbird has Plummeted

By 02 Jun 2006 | Comment
The nest has fallen out and two of the three baby blackbirds have died; here's the survivor a few days later, still being fed like crazy by his Dad. He couldn't really survive on the ground either, and died a day later. One thing we noticed was that the Dad had lost a fair chunk of tail feathers, which suggests that he got whacked by something while trying to distract it from his baby.
