That's a strong possibility too, dear @Dane, but I've seen such cases before, and it's a bit strange -but not impossible- to abandon a chick wich is almost fully feathered...I suspect that it fell from the nest, or that it was attacked by some other animal/bird, or smthng like that...
Anyway, thank you for your kind words, have a nice evening and a great weekend :)
Yes I agree with you come to think of
It, the parents might've abandoned the chick knowing it wasn't healthy, good call, and keep up the good work, I am very proud of you
And I'm sure all the animals appreciate your help as well, wether they make it or not.
Dear @honeydogleo it was cute, but unfortunately it died at the animal clinic...
Dear @DaneCole, you're probably right...But perhaps it was very sick too...It was very small and weak...
To cute
Poor babe, maybe just needed his mom and dad for a little longer..
