Sorry, I haven't heard of it before, but what is tlc? It sounds kinda interesting.

 

[incubatingisfun]

It is a program where you can sign up to take care of baby birds that are abandoned then you release them into the wild.I think its going to be fun

 

[whiteflare]

I think that sounds awesome too!
Oh, does tlc stand for Tender loving care? That makes sense. Is this program only in the States?

 

[incubatingisfun]

I am not sure what tlc stands for but that would make sense.one second I will got look it up

Okay!

So with these birds.... what exactly do you feed them? Is it just like with chicks?

 

[incubatingisfun]

bird treatment and learning center.I think it may only be in alaska but maybe other states may have a similiar program.No for most of the birds they give you this mixture you have to feed them every 20 minutes for 12 hours a day

Oh, so it wasn't tender loving care

Close enough!

20 minutes a day?! Wow, that's a lot of work. Are you going to take it out with you?

It'd be too small to eat by itself out of a dish, wouldn't it....

 

[incubatingisfun]

hahahaha.got to feed it every to minutes definently alot of work.yeah if I want to do anything i would have to take it with me or have someone take care of it for a while.it cant eat out of a dish till its older

Well, good luck is all I can say. You'll have to post pictures, I love seeing baby birds.

I don't usually get to lay eyes on many, no idea where to look

What kind of birds?
