Baby Blackbird Can't Fly

chump · 2006-06-04 18:11:12

There's a baby, well more of an adolescent blackbird, stuck in my back garden and the poor thing hasn't learnt to fly properly. He can jump/fly from a flower pot to maybe a fence, but can't fly any higher/further. He seems pretty dejected now, and is just sitting on a rock in the corner... Anything to help, or just wait…

Usually the parents will continue to feed for a couple days after the little uns have fledged. So there is a good chance it'll be fine.
