What an adventure for the DBC today! I found a baby bird lying on the floor just before the entrance to our building. The NC Wildlife hotline was unable to assist and I the lil guy was barely moving— probably stunned by the cold. Not knowing anything about birds or engineering a nest, I made a makeshift one out of our coffee cups and napkins, gently placed him in there, and placed the cup on our mailbox so he wouldn’t be on the ground. Luckily mama bird was able to find him and even started feeding him! At this point I figured he would need space larger than a cup, so I found a tiny box and a pair of socks and created a long term nest. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m glad that mama bird does and is taking care of her little one once more. Hang in there buddy!
