I was worried about interfeering at all. But I was afraid he was too week to make it much longer. The bird seems much stronger already & is perched on the edge of the flowerpot in the box I used as a makeshift nest.

I'm leaving him alone for a while-hope the parents come back soon. They took off after I netted him. But they have been local here for months so I'm pretty certain I can pull of a release if he can be kept healthy...
Thanks & I'll do what I can.

Cheers!
