Say hello to my little friend...

Nigel


I found him in a Bo Jangles parking lot doing his best to avoid being run over. He couldn't fly, was soaking wet and freezing.

Here he is enjoying some Pentium heat while I arrange new digs for him with a bird rescue group.

Hope he recovers and is able to return to his native habitat.
Do you know what kind of bird he is.

6. Cute!
I'm glad you found a rehabber for him. I've been working in rehab taking care of little guys like that for years. Baby birds are the absolute sweetest.:loveya:

7. he's at that "teenaged" stage I find appealing ...
Some people think they look like little punkers, but I think half-fledged is pretty cute!

Congrats on saving Nigel's bacon -- sounds like he would have been smushed flat if you hadn't intervened.

10. Hi Nigel! You are one lucky bird, you know that?
That was awfully nice of you to rescue him! Now he has a chance to make it back out into the wilds, so we can hear him sing!

22. Too late to stop a life long habit


All rescues except the pug, and I am missing a hamster, a rabbit and one cat.

I even gave them their own web site.
