ace_of_hearts Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 The cat has brought in her latest victim. Unfortunately it has a load of feathers missing from 1 wing so cannot fly. Not sure what to do with it, or what it is? http://|http://thumbsnap.com/8020KRlz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsonicnat Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 All the answers are off I Think : LOOK at his Red Legs, I cannot find it in my bird book, even Juveniles, But he is very Young, the wide beak is always there for Feeding, which it has,,,, Wrap around Feet for branches, it looks thrush like, but why RED LEGS, No Sparrow has Red Legs?... Will keep looking: Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsonicnat Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have come to the conclusion it is a Very Young ROBIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's a dunnock/hedge sparrow. Young robins are very similar but have a bit less streaking on the breast as a general rule. And it's a young un hence the smiley face lol. One of the few birds to take two partners at breeding time. She lets em both hump her the. The lead male pecks the seaman out. All three feed the young.

ace_of_hearts Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks guys, He was having a good flap around last night so I put him back outside and he managed to flutter off back into the bush, and I locked the cat back inside.
