Well, GFPs, this week in moving to the country...on Thursday we discovered a nest of baby blackbirds. Cute! [caption align="alignnone" width="980"] [/caption] What we found when we checked in on them later that evening, however, was less cute. One was missing, another was out of the nest and dead, a gash along its body, and the third one was alone in the nest, looking pretty bad. We initially thought it was dead too until we realised there was some faint, laboured breathing, but it was very unresponsive. I called every nearby rescue I could find online and finally got through to a bird of prey shelter who told me to get it in my hands to warm it up back to body temperature, and advised us on how to keep it alive overnight so we could hopefully get it to a shelter the following morning when they were open. The poor thing was absolutely freezing, but after a few hours in my hands as I sat by the fire, it became much more frisky, even emitting a few cheeps and once gaping for food.
