Young Thrush
Copyright ©2006, Fonzy -
Viewed times

Found this young Thrush in the garden, abandon from parents....
The parents didn't show up anymore and after an hour watching her (hoping to see the parent) I took her inside the house very small , wet and shivering.
We bought a little spout and some dried insects and hand feed the bird. Now we have her for ten day's and she is doing very well, eating worms and insects...and flying around in the living room .
We hope to set her free again when she is able to find food on her own....
The bird was sitting on a chair so I cloned that out to give it a more natural look..
