“ Volunteers with the Burnaby-based Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. have been busy saving baby crows and reunifying them with their parents. Humans who think they are helping are inadvertently kidnapping the fledglings.”
“Brooks wants people to know they should leave baby crows alone, unless they are bleeding or have some kind of visible wound. Young crows can be identified by their blues eyes but may be close to adult size. Brooks has a tip for people who have to frequently cross hostile crow territory: carry an umbrella to protect yourself from diving parents. “
@iheartcrows @nothingbutcrows I took this photo today of these two crows sipping some water out of my bird bath. I’m in Atlanta, GA. Thought you’d enjoy it. :)
And not just crows, but at least one baby! (See the pink at the corner of its beak? Dead giveaway (unless, of course, it’s just food stuck there, but it looks like a gape to me), because they are nearly as large as the parents by the time they’re flying about. So that, blue eyes, or ‘feed me’ behaviour can be the only easy ways to tell. Can’t quite see if it’s there on the other.)
Lovely capture.

Being a baby bird is tough. You have to grow all sorts of feathers, your whole body is changing, it gets hot outside, and you have to wait so long for mom and dad to deliver food to your face ;)
Don’t be alarmed, the baby is just fine, but baby birds sure do look like they are dying when they are sunning and resting. It cracks me up every time and makes me think of human toddlers who fall asleep in precarious positions and places.
