Baby Mockingbird Stranded in Yard
|
|
The other day, I saw a baby Mockingbird sitting in the middle of my front yard. I thought it may have fallen out of its nest. I didn't touch or disturb it...I went inside for a couple minutes came back and it was gone. I figured one of the opportunistic cats had made off with it.
Well, this morning...I looked out the window and watched the neighbors cat being chased by an adult mockingbird...later on I found out why...the baby had somehow made it into the shrubbery about 8 ft from where I first discovered it. Of course, the mother was nearby watching like a hawk. Again, I didn't touch it or get too close lest I upset it's mother.
I'm worried that one of the three cats nearby will get it before it can attempt to fly. Is there anything I can do to help its chances?
