Pee Wee

Today I rescued a young pee wee. She's fledged but still too young to fly, so it look like I'm MumAndDad for a few weeks. Luckily pee wees don't care what the parent looks like as long as it shoves food in the beak. Meal worms and mince meat dipped in insectivore mix does very nicely, thank you very much.

The trouble is, anyone who walks near the cage has a begging pee wee hassling them.

What's a pee wee? A bird? A bat?

how do you find these poor little broken animals, are you just wandering around in the bush, and wham, there they are, or does someone let you know about them?

I belong to a rescue group. Usually someone phones in, but occasionally people drop the animals/birds at home.
