This poor little guy was found under my friend's tree after a crow attacked the nest and threw out him and another baby. Sad to say, the other baby didn't survive. It was quite traumatic to see both these poor babies out on their own. When we approached this little one, he thought we'd be feeding him, and opened his mouth, waiting for food that never came. Very sad. The good news is, his dad found him, and came down shortly after and fed him, so there was a happy ending for him. :-)
You're lucky HIS parent came to save him. We found a mother and baby mice living in our trailer and when we discovered them, their mother abandoned them!!! Now we have to care for them, and swabbing mouse bums and feeding them every two hours is NOT my idea of fun. Of course, I would rather that than let them starve to death or get eaten in the wild... We didn't have the heart to let that happen to newborn animals.
