you can call him Maxie...
That's GREAT... exciting. His parents may move on and you may have him for a while. So if that is the case, I'll help you to raise him so he won't get tame..so you can release him more
successfully.
Yes watch for the parents. See if they come by tomorrow. They sometimes have a route they follow.
I'd put him with the box in a safe tree if you see the parents.
they will see him and hear him. And you watch him too, to see what happens. I hope you have the time for it!
Feed him as much as he will eat tonight. And prepare to get up early tomorrow. And water too.
I really enjoyed the birds I raised. They are so interesting.
I even rescued a hummingbird once... with a sprained wing.
I kept him/her for 2 days, and released it. She/he flew off
happily. Here is a pic of him/her in the fish tank with the
sugar water I gave in an old feeder bottom...
