My most challenging rescue yet

[Momof4]

Sorry Ed! At least you had the heart to help him!

I'm sorry to hear that. Rehabbing baby birds is pretty difficult.

In my limited experience, this is the first one that didn't go crazy eating once it figured out that I had food for it.
I think he was worse off than I first recognized.
I don't know how long he had been terrorized until I found him.

Oh Ed, I am so sorry! And what a story! I just read this whole thread! Wow! You just gave me one more reason to admire you, My Friend

Be at peace my friend. I would have to figure the poor guy suffered some serious trauma from his "feathered" encounter before you showed up and saved him. His lack of appetite was likely another indicator of this as well. You went far and above what most would have done in the same situation.

Poor thing! I'm so sorry. He was probably too traumatized to recover.
