Peewee 3

So I have another peewee. Again.

This one is about 3 weeks old and fully feathered, but he can't fly. A week or two will see him in the air, but right now he's cat-bait. I think he was blown from his tree last night.

The problem with getting a bird this old is getting it to food. We're having "I don't have to listen to you you're not my mum!" arguments at the moment. Right now he's in the cage with some peewee feed and meal worms, which add a little movement to the dish. I hope he looks in and thinks "Ooh! Food!"

He's calling for his parents but only the dogs are interested.

I am giggling happily at this image.

Best wishes for Peeweethree's growth and wellbeing.

Sounds like there is a Peewee population explosion going on in your parts, is this many birds normal?

CYa!

Another peewee

It may be the statistician in me, but I'm beginning to suspect some kind of clustering here. Is there any commonality to them? Like the location they came from, or weather anomolies?

We had a sudden burst of really hot weather, then a strong wind. We're seeing all sorts of birds, I just happen to get some peewees.

the doggies want to play with him. The poor bird wouldn't survive. 8)

Wow. Whereabouts do peewees like to roost? :^)

Good luck with the little fella.
