As Scott snapped this last picture of our 4 cute little birds, one of them got scared and flew away. He flew great! The next morning, one of them was on the ground. We noticed that he had a club foot and he can't fly. We didn't want to leave him on the ground to get eaten so we attempted to put him back in the nest. As we did, all three of them jumped out. He glided back to the ground while his siblings flew away. He has hung around our yard for about a week and his mom and his siblings come back to be with him and help him. It has been awesome to watch, but he still can't fly. Just today he managed to get up onto our wall and glided down into the neighbor's yard- it's a vacant house so it's a good place to be for now. We hope he learns to fly and we've sure loved having ur birds around, we will miss them. Our girls have grown quite attached and loved them more than anything and they have been great entertainment for quite a few weeks.
If you can see her, this is their ever-faithful mommy on one of her favorite perches while they were in their nest.

I think the bird thing has been a really neat thing. Thanks for sharing it with us. I am pretty sad that your little bird has a club foot. It breaks my heart. Nature can be so cruel. It has been neat to learn that bird mommies take such good care of their babies. That was something that I did not know.
So sorry to hear those little birds won't be around anymore. It is so cute to see how little they are as babies and how dependent they are on their moms to feed them! What a fun thing for your girls to have experienced!
