Hi All,

it seems I land up with the lost and baby birds work, friends and family find. the latest been what a suspect to be, a red-faced mouse bird found outside our factory in Primrose, Gauteng after a hail storm.
judging by the size and plumage it is a juvenile. It hops and might fly or could be graceful falling too,
not sure.

I have been giving it original pronutro mixed with water,that seems to pep it up. it has also eaten some fruit, apple and mater melon. The Kids named it Whistles.
I have been reading the posts regarding mouse birds and found them helpful.
Any further help is welcome. I will attach a picture when I have figured out how to do it.

:)

Welcome to AA. :hug8: Thanks for taking in this little sweetie. He looks more like a speckled to me. Red faced looks more like my Gryphon. Can you please start a thread in the Softbill Circle about him. Weighing him every day with a gram scale is important.
