I volunteer at my local animal shelter and today, two high schoolers brought in a baby bird; they say they found the baby near the parking lot in the grass. What kind of bird am I looking at? And how old do you think it is? Is it a wild breed? There are no farms or chickens allowed in the city, so I jumped to it being a wild breed, but its down feathers and lack of tail make me question that... and people have been known to buy chickens, despite the zoning. Perhaps someone discarded it...
), but couldn't say no to this one. No one at the shelter was prepared to take the chick home, so I figured why not? I can always rehome the chick to a loving family if I need to; but def with a plan and not just on a whim, like today!
