Baby Blackbird


The young black birds are out and about now and looking cute. They are very vulnerable to predation by cats though so if you see one gently shoo it into a tree or if it can't fly yet (they sometimes leave the nest early), put it in the branches of a tree. Don't listen to the TV naturalists of this world who advise leaving a bird where it is to be eaten by cats (inevitably). Some birds need our help!!!!

  1. Aah, whata little cutie. I'd always try to rescue them rather than leave them to the mercy of the local cats. A gorgeous photo.
