I just walked out to wash my car and this little guy is in my driveway. Is it time for birds to learn to fly? Is there something wrong with him? He's missing feathers around his face and his tail feathers look strange. I feel like his tail looks so odd that he probably can't fly?
It's a black bird of some sort. The mom and dad are here and the baby is running to them. I'm trying to stay back and I hope they get him. Omg I fucking hate nature . Please let this end well.
I ripped the lid off our pizza box from last night and scooted it from the driveway into the lawn. Then the mom and dad came.
It went chasing after them across the grass it was so sad! It can't fly yet and I'm worried. They did come feed it because I went to check on it and there was a bug hanging from its mouth. I went back just now and it is hiding in my irises. The parents know where it is because they were yelling at me. I hope it makes it!

Quoth the raven, "nevermore".
I hate birds. One tried to build a nest on our front porch. There was one built next door and the neighbors were all freaked out because birds get all territorial and they will dive bomb at you. When I discovered the nest on our front porch I checked and the mother hadn't laid eggs yet so I moved it. I read that I needed to shut that down before eggs and babies show up because then they get crazy. Not prepared to deal with psycho birds, I saw that Alfred Hitchcock movie.
In all seriousness though, I hope the bird is ok and it goes far far away from your house.
