Baby Red Whiskered Bulbul

Just a few hours ago we thought this little guy or gal was going to not make it there were no parents feeding this baby and he was trying to eat but we had run out of grapes so I had a nice mango that was meant for me but I couldn’t bear to see this baby not get enough he was almost at a point of not being able to stand properly well I put out my treat and then his parents showed up and fed him the transformation took 10-15 minutes but my god he’s doing ok now. In reading on how to care for these birds as youngsters they have to eat often so my wife was right he needed a meal and right away the babies of all the animal kingdom are cute and I can’t stand seeing any suffering so glad he/she is in good shape certainly worth the cost of my Mango to see the little bird get strength back after I made a run to Sams Club and got several boxes of grapes. Grapes are not grown on Oahu so when I first started trying different fruits no birds started trying them now in my little neighborhood so many of the bird species watch and wait for me to wire tie the grapes to our plants the Mynahs that don’t seem to partake often of any fruits go bananas over them they get so excited when I get home from work and start placing them in the plants on YouTube there’s a Mynah named Kaleo that talks to the lady that raised him take a watch and you’ll get a feel for just how smart birds are the Northern Cardinals are the next on the intelligence list while they don’t have the vocabularyWOW are they smart I’d have never learned if not for a Baby Cardinal getting stuck overnight on the same Hibiscus plant I attach the grapes to that little baby bird got us to start enjoying the feathered friends around us and she comes to visit us still to this day although she has to sneak into our yard because of their territory behavior:-)
