Someone cut down the tree and the nest was inside the dead part. The people said they had no way to attach the dead chunk to a tree nearby. So far they're thriving. I feed them every hour a slurry of kitten chow, vitamins and mealworms all pureed in my blender. Hubby is very patient and tolerant of my job. Nice man.
Soo tiny. Was the mother near by at all? I would not have had a clue at what they were at that age. Though I guess the wood might help to let you know they were woodpeckers??? I had to look them up. They are really pretty birds once they grow up. I hope you will have help at night. Every hour. Wow. That's alot. Your husband sounds like a very patient person too. Mine is sometimes, but....well. LOL Best of wishes to you and your new babies. ;~)
Sorry for the miscommunication: birds are terrific to raise because they don't need to eat at night. These little ones are fed from 6am to 9pm, about 16 feedings. I get to sleep. I don't have that luxury when I'm raising baby mammals such as very young squirrels or mice. Mice are the worst to raise but people find them and bring them to the center. It's kind of ironic to spend a few weeks raising tiny babies and then release them to the wild to become part of the food chain.
After over 18 years of animal rehab, I'm pretty good with ID now. Flickers are easy because of the noise they make.
Well I'm glad to hear that you can sleep at night. Whew....wiping forehead. LOL You make me laugh on the food chain comment though. LOL I guess you would really have to watch if you had an owl and baby mice too. Ok....shouldn't have even said that maybe. ha ha. Your job sounds really cool though and rewarding. I would be lost on identifying them though. Good deal. ;~)
Oh! I'm going to show my Fiance that picture.Then maybe he'll understand that I had to save my baby finch.I would LOVE to do what you do,I know I've expressed that many times.Have you ever heard of Tiger Island? Tigers walk around and there tame and you can pet them.Someday,I will go.I enjoy your pictures so much.Thanks for sharing them with everyone.Jen
