The weirdest flock

[den]

Today I picked up two more chicks.One is a honey-eater called a red wattle bird, the other is an insectivore called black-faced cuckoo-shrike. Luckily they eat the magpie mix, and both species are non-agressive toward the other.

I hope they survive, but at the moment they're make up the wierdest flock in town.

I was walking through the park nearby today and saw a little chick who had fallen from its nest onto the path... it looked lost and was calling for its mother... I didn't really know what to do, but soon another bird (looked just like it, but was an adult, so I assumed it was the mother) found it and flew down to feed it on the ground, so then I left..

It'll be alright, won't it? =\

if the parents are feeding it, it'll be okay.

Until a passing cat spies it---

Possibly, if the parents can't herd the chick to a safer place.

(See, Jim, the idea is to make people feel less guilty. )
