I had to post something somewhere. I'm just so darned happy. =D
A few weeks ago, I noticed an injured catbird on the way to work and turned my car around to check on it. Looked like she (going to call her a she, because my brohter gave her a girl's name) had been hit - she had some blood and couldn't fly, just landed back on the ground and tipped over as if she had no balance. I took the poor thing home to see if my family could help, since I work out-of-county and can't stop by home until after 5pm. My brother, being the awesome guy he is, researched what catbirds eat and fed her beheaded mealworms (bird ate willingly, not forced) and some berries from our wild bird seed mix. He also made sure she drank by herself and discovered that catbirds have a lot of legal restrictions against keeping them, maily because they're highly intelligent and easily adapt to being near humans - a lot of their legal protection is t prevent them from becoming pets. Somehow, the little thing lived long enough for us to take her to a local bird rescue center. I wasn't expecting much, considering the wobbling meant potential central nervous system damage, but at least she wasn't dying on the side of the road.
Well, we just got a postcard from the rescue center in the mail today. Little Reina was returned to the wild! biggrin There is no silly emoticon on this site that comes close to how ecstatic I am right now. I really did not expect her to make it in general, let alone be well enough to be released!
I feel like dancing! mrgreen

Gray catbird. I think they mostly live in the Eastern half of the US.

They're really smart wild birds that live mostly off bugs & berries, and they got their name because their call sounds like an upset kitten. In fact, my mom dragged me outside one time, thinking a kitten was stuck in our bushes, until I explained it to her. xd

One of the horses at the barn where our horse stays actually killed some of the ducklings that hatched this spring when they wandered into his paddock (he's a bit "off," anyway). The barn owner had to pen up the mom and babies to keep them safe.

Oh thats great he find. biggrin
Not much birds story I heard they live after getting hurt.
I have alot of birds story....So i just tell the latest bird attack.
3 month ago...I think, I was out said and saw some bird's feathers on the ground and I was wondering if that young cat that all was come to the house so i can feel him, got on hold of the bird. The only place I know he will take the bird again Yes he killed 2 bird in row. The first was on easter moring but it died and the secord one was dead part pice was missing.
Any way check the same place that killed the birds and saw the bird try to fly away form the cat. I got in time and toke him in. He couldn't fly for while,
but later I put him in my sister's room, him then he was try to fly again...Looking he could 100% fly again, So I open the windown and he fly out in the tree and I no long can see him. Mean by he gone fly of in the night sky when he was in the tree.
