So this evening we let two fledglings go, after looking after them for ten days. We found them last Tuesday on the ground, a nest had been destroyed and they didn’t look good at all. We brought them in and under instructions from my mother in law (who has a wildlife sanctuary) we nursed them back to health. They’ve recently been eating live mealworms mainly, and all I can think about tonight is will they be feeding okay up there? I’m also hoping they found each other, because one flew off a good few minutes before the other one did.
I appreciate I’m probably being a bit soppy and silly, but I’ve grown quite attached to the little ones! Just hope they’ll be okay out there.
