Urgent question!! Baby Crow found not able to fly... - 2006/10/10 10:23
Hello everyone,
It's my first time here and I have an urgent question. I just saw a young Crow (fully feathered) on the ground and he obviously hasn't learned to fly yet. He's really clumsy and when I found him about 2 hours ago, he was standing on the walkway of a hotel where the crows have their nests and all the adults were screaming and making a lot of noise. I don't know exactly what it meant but it was obviously because of this young bird.
Being that I have a Parrot at home, I am not afraid, so I tried to approach the young bird but he was afraid and would try to fly but would hit a small wall that was by the walkway. He ended up sitting and hiding in a grassy area covered by palm trees and I saw him still sitting there about 1 hour and a half later.
I called the LA Animal control and the woman who answered said it was normal. That the mother pushes the bird out of the nest to encourage him to fly and that he will be ok and that he will eventually muster the courage to do so…He doesn’t seem hurt though.
Basically, I am just hoping for reassurance that it is really the case and that she didn’t just say that to make me feel better. I’m just afraid that he will just sit there and starve to death or something. I will walk by again in a few hours and I’m hoping he won’t still be sitting there.
Thank you to anyone who could shed some light on this.
Catherine
