hi,
im leah, and i wanted to know if any of u have any suggestions as to what i should do,
there's a baby bird in my front yard, in a small tree, i think its a northern mockingbird because there's a bird that keeps hanging around here watching the baby bird and it looks like a northern mockingbird (i used the Birds of Florida field guide by Stan Tekiela to figure that out)
well....i dont know if i should do anything because maybe the mother will go get it or abandon it if i touch it, but its just sitting there not even making any noise.
i read in a book before that i should get a little box and put the baby in there and tie it to a tree so that the mother can get to it, but im not sure if i should do that. i dont want to do anything that might hurt the bird
so if u have any suggestions please post

I hope it works out the way you want, but please don't be to upset if it doesn't, it's just nature doing it's thing.
