Introduction

On June 19 this little guy fell from his nest from the big tree in the Quinta California Courtyard. I place him back in his nest and he seemed to be accepted by his parents. However, 24 hours later we found him on the ground again.

Rescued from the dangers of Miss Maple and Rudolph we placed him in this large cage and hung it by the base of the tree hoping it parents might fly down and feed him. He is strong, but cannot fly. Seems the arrangment of his tail feathers makes it clumsy to walk as well. I put masa de tortilla on my fingers and he attacks them, only to discover its food. He eats very vigorously. His parents have not really responded to him, we believe he may have been ejected from the nest. He has two pecked marks, one behind his neck and the other where a wing is attached.
