I helped a baby Carolina Wren. [View all]

I kept hearing a bird chirping. I decided to see what was up. I looked up the stairs and there were silhouettes of 2 birds. One flew away. I walked up the stairs to see what was up with the other one.

Poor thing. She was trying so hard to fly but she couldn't get any altitude. She had a full set of feathers. I caught her and I didn't see any injury so I put her on the ledge and off she went. I went downstairs to make sure she was ok.

She was scooting along the ground with some flying. I saw where the other bird went so I herded her in that direction. She went under some tree branches where the other bird had gone. At least they were low enough for her to perch on.

Hopefully, Mama will be there and she can relax. Poor baby.
Hope I did the right thing.
