Baby/Female Blackbird

LB6

I'm hoping someone can put forward some kind of response to this.
There is either a young BB or maybe a young f BB in my back garden. Every day she is constantly chirping. Not the regular song, but the alarm one. She stands on the same tree bouncing from branch to branch. I got close to her today and it looks like she's got a worm hanging from the end of her beak. It's been like that ages now. It seems to be closed tight at the tip. You can see a gap at the back of the beak that allows her to breath and chirp. It sounds so distressing. She's calling all day long. Is there anything that I can do?

Beak brown = baby , yellow= adult , i guess it is adult calling to new baby after leaving nest , and the baby is gone missing

thank you - i'll check her tomorrow. shes gone for the night now. It's just worrying me that her beak is shut at the front.

Only male blackbirds have a bright yellow beak. Female's beak is a yellowish brown. The female is told from a juvenile by her more uniform brown plumage compared to a mottled juvenile.

Is this bird in the same position for hours on end?

There are both yellow....

Relax, I was just pointing out how different the yellow beaks are between male and female. Indeed it is more accurate to say the male's is orange-yellow and the female's brownish- yellow.

OP, is this bird still in the same place this morning?

Hi

She always comes back in the evenings to the same branch. She's here again now, and she'll continue to call incessantly for hours again.

If she comes and goes and just has a routine of calling from that branch in the evenings, I wouldn't be at all concerned.
