He is a very good caretaker...thing is, that bird needs to go back to nature.
I have a soft heart too. A while back, on our property, a nest fell out of a tree with two eggs in it....both cracked open.....one chick was dead....the other a yellow glob. I raised that yellow glob....for 3 months ( and like that young man...all you do is take care of 'it')...'it' was a robin and I had to train it to LEAVE me and go on its own....just like my kids.....and I cried and cried when he finally was confident enough to fly away. Technically, we are not supposed to rescue wildlife, but rather call the DNR, but at times they do nothing.....so whaddya do....("This is nature....leave it alone".) This bird did not even have feathers! He seems like a wonderful young man to be THAT devoted and the bird, well, it looks pretty happy....the option was probably not good. I hope he goes onto a career in' wildlife management'. His video made me smile.

I'd like to think that he is preparing it to leave the nest, so to speak, but maybe I'm overly optimistic.

My sister did the exact same thing with a baby sparrow many years ago when I was small - she initially hand raised it then got the sparrow used to being outside. Over time the bird was free to come and go at will through the window. Eventually it disappeared for good, though one day many months later it landed on her shoulder at random one day when she was out in the yard.
loved the clip raglet |

Phoebe has an egg now in her nest...
Phoebe cam...live: http://phoebeallens.com/ In Calif they are 3 hrs before EST... so cam does not come on until about 10am EST. It is pretty interesting. If this nest succeeds (there has been bad luck on the recent past ones) it is fascinating to watch the babies grow. They are so tiny!
