So just a min ago I went to walk across the house to my moms room.. and I have a habit of stopping by the back door ((which is on the way)) just to look into the backyard.. idk why its just something ive done since we moved into this house. So im looking and its pretty windy outside so leaves are blowing everywhere and I noticed a lil bird hopping around the neighbors yard so I watch it for a moment and its just casually hopping around then starts heading for my yard. So I wait a min longer to see if itll get close enough for me to get my camera and take pics. Well it did get close enough.. it came all the way up to the stairs at my back door!
So I open the door and it didnt fly away... so im thinkin somethins up now. I grab the dish towel and I go up to it and it doesnt move, it just sits there looking around so I put the towel over it and it didnt make a fuss. I pick it up and bring it inside to show my mom but shes sleeping so I brought it into my room to have a look at it.
Its perfectly alert and I also learned thats its well capable of flying... but his only issue is his eyes. Idk whats up with them but it cant seem to open them ((thats the only injury I can find on him)), Im ganna go on my bird forum and ask some questions in a lil bit.
He looks like an Adult male ((female
)) House Finch to me... hes a pretty lil thing. He doesnt seem to be sick or show any signs of sickness, hes really alert and pretty strong too. Ive rescued and hand raised wild Birds before encase your wondering so dont worry I know what im doing.
Although the nearest Bird Rehabilitation Center is an Hour away... im not sure when I can get him there. Im ganna hold on to him for the night ((if not longer)) and contact the Rehab. Center to see if they'll take him and what to do till I can get him there.
Here are some pics I just took of him...
