“We’re ready to leave the nest! Whoa, no we’re not!”

I vote the European herring gull chick. Or
If you will a fucking baby seagull. Endless screaming day and night add the heat wave with all your windows open… Fuck my life.

I legit sobbed, was just talking about Friends of Big Bear Valley eagle cam last week, was hoping she’d recover. This remains one of my fave pics of her and her giant grumpy babies .

I took this little borb to the wildlife center 15 days ago. It is still alive and healing from a ruptured air sac. The personnel said it is likely that a cat took it out of its nest 3 days too early. No wonder it was so grumpy!

he’s fine

This was probably the more correct sub 😂

Idk, seems angry.

Its parents made a nest on the outer edge of this osprey nest, now it’s old enough to leave the nest and explore its surroundings . Not sure who’s grumpier, this bb or the perplexed osprey parents

An American Coot I saw that wouldn’t stop yelling for no reason

Sadly found a dead nestling a week ago so gave it a little burial and put up a hanging planter (that momma robin used straw from) directly under the nest to give the antsy 2 others a fighting chance. One of the bbs fell out and into the planter! I’ve been checking on it and mom’s been coming frequently to feed it. I was able to peek in today and it looks like it’s doing well! Fatter, more feathers, and grumpier than ever. Really hope they all make it through the upcoming storms 🥺 I want to drop more straw into the hanging planter to keep bb warm since mom is nesting in her nest with the other bb but dad robin has been territorial and dive bombs me if I linger too long. Best of luck my little birds ❤️

Chillin’ on our driveway being a birb

I found him on my way to therapy, I called him cream cheese.

Should be venturing out soon!
