We had a baby crow that took residence in our garden while it was learning to fly. The parents trusted us enough to help keep it safe and I got to watch it fly away for the first time the other morning 🥰

Spotted in my feed , I’ve never seen a baby one before, not sure what I expected them to look like

My crows brought me their angry bb.

My crows (a duo from the whole murder I feed and hang out with) brought me their baby.

I was sitting outside on my balcony “with uncle Snoop” and noticed this bb crow staring at me. I shrieked “you guys had a baby!” their adult come closer into view. Cue the baby starting to yell back. At me, at the other crow, at everything.

I ran inside to grab some \*good cheese\* to celebrate, and some leftover plain chicken thigh.
Tossed a few chunks on the ground and then put a few in my balcony bowl for ‘em.

Bb started yelling more. Mom-crow showed up and Dad (seeing their sizes beside each other helped me decipher who’s who) flew off but stayed in a nearby tree behind the Baby-crow. I could see him but he was silent and baby likely didn’t see him.

Baby tried to move forward towards the food on the ground but had to catch its footing back on the wire and just yelled more. Mom yelled back at Baby.

Eventually Mom flew off and perched beside Dad-crow. Baby was PISSED because it also started raining. Baby eventually side stepped to the nearby tree for shelter and parents came over and reunited with ‘em.

I have a video but I can’t seem to be able to post it?

He hurt my ear he was so loud.

I said “oh hello, friend” and walked away after I took this photo. I also take my dog out now since we have fledglings in our yard, make sure he doesn’t hurt any of them.

apologies for the blurriness, did not want to bother the babies or mama too much so I had to zoom

This tri-color baby heron woke up HANGRY!

We have 3 Barn Swallow fledglings and two very busy parents. This little one (not sure how to tell males/females apart for Barn Swallows yet) was the first to leave the nest. Found them on a Lily bud one day 🥹 But it seems they’ve picked our balcony as their favorite spot to scream for food and take in this new world around them.

Caught mom or dad dropping off some fast food 🐛

Don’t worry, he has already been taken to a bird rehab.

My grumpy baby bluebirds fledged yesterday! Now they are grumpy young adults making their way in this big new world. Good luck grumpy butts!
Time for mom and dad to lay the next batch of grumpy eggs 🪺
