An abandoned grackle, in urgent need of food, warmth & shelter, was brought to me on the evening of May 22. While I always recommend putting the bird back in the nest, so adult birds will raise it, it was not an option in this case: the nest and adults had been attacked by other animals, and plummeting nighttime temperatures threatened the life of this starving nestling.
Part I covered the first 10 days.
Part II covered Days 11 - 15.
Part III covers Days 16 - 21,
(including his release on Day 18) and now... Part IV covers Days 23 - 30.

Please Note: we initially understood that this baby bird was a starling, so incorrectly titled the video, "Another Starling Story" at first.
