Isn't it TERRIFYING when you learn that fledglings don't FLY????? And you've watched them as if they are your own and then you see them clinging to unlikely places, so vulnerable?<br />Thank goodness there was an evolutionary decision to at least make them not RED upon hatching! Well done. Thank you so much for sharing.
