I had a juvenile red tail in the tree out back this morning at the crack of dawn. The crows and jays and juncos and chickadees were all yelling at this poor guy and woke me up. He finally flew away. Didn't get my little hurt bird though. The little guy is getting better. I think with our seeds on the ground, water in saucers and "furry tree" he has a chance. He looks stronger today than before, I'm rooting for him! Great picture!!! I had a juvenile red tail in the tree out back this morning at the crack of dawn.

"Firry" tree. Got it! We don't have any of those here, at least not imported. Red-tailed hawk that showed up in the tree next to my house, January 2005:

I've seen this little hurt bird sheltering under the branches and some baby rabbits and some rats or mice. We have red tail hawks and bald eagles here that can swoop down in an instant, you know (they all do know!).

We currently have a wren in our backyard that is hurt, damaged wing and leg, We have a furry tree that provides shelter, water in ceramic saucers and seed on the ground from our feeder and my sweetie is strewing seeds for the hurt guy. Synergy, it's all synergy that we humans have forgotten. Give back to Mother Earth and she will provide. So sad. Yeah, Doc,

Birds are quite novel. Warmest regards, Doc. I remember helping my grandmother with the chickens, and we always provided them with oyster shells (crushed) and some gravel for their digestive system.

Also, seaweed tea works tremendously for those warmer climes.

Actually, that was something that I didn't know, and I thought I knew most of the companion plantings. I’d love to see it here!
