My son can be so clueless...He has always been like that. Doesn't pay attention to details/empathy --- The ADHD monster still lives within him and shows up at times like this.

The most interesting fledging event we have had here lately was Weezie getting a robin, which provoked a major alarm of all the birds in our area. They became an army and chased her up from the creek and she came to me to save her! There were jays, robins, chickadees, sparrows, Cardinals, and others I couldn't see, but the commotion was considerable. I got the robin away, put Weez on the screened porch and put the robin where the parents could see and hear him. Fledging can be a very difficult, dangerous and deadly time for birds. Birds that are not 100% normal don't survive the fledge at all.
