I was walking into the tram stop and I could hear a cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep coming from nearby. This little guy must have fallen out of his tree, his mum and dad were both sitting in the tree above. He was trying his hardest to fly but his wings were just not developed enough.
He was still there when I came home hours later, but gone yesterday. I hope he worked out how to fly!
I had a technically 'better' photo to use but let's celebrate this little guy and his determination!

jerseyshawn Mother birds kick them out before they can fly because predators stalk nests! So this little one is fine with the parents watching and feeding it. I had blue jays a few years in a row and was lucky enough to watch them "fall out" and hop away. By the end of the day, they could do little flights!
