Gene came home today and announced someone left a gift on our porch. When I went outside, I found this soaking wet (it had been raining all day) baby mockingbird. I know exactly who did it: Noah. It was only a week ago that Noah brought in a finch which I had to capture and release. I'm only hoping I can get this little guy healthy enough to release later. But I'm not holding my breath.
BTW, you think this is God's way of saying that it was a good idea to go back to school as a vet tech? *blinks*
And, yesh, he's sitting in a pair of my jockey shorts. So what.
Edit: Here's a video of him where he's feeling much better:

Poor thing. I only hope you can save it. It would be such a shame if you couldn't.

awwwz!

i've had my share of raising baby mockingbirds but normally at this age they jump out of their nests and have their parents feed them from the ground
you see it alot here(on my island)
good luck!

I wanted to be a vet for the longest time, but I can't look a hurt animal without losing it. ;^;

You really should go back to school though.
I wish the best of luck to you and this little guy. You're doing a great thing by helping him. :3
