I have a momma mockingbird and her 2 babies living in my back yard. I have poasted about the one baby, I just didnt know she had 2 until today. I am saddened though as I watched the babies today out my kitchen window that one of the babies has lost one of his eyes. He was sitting on the fence outside the window and was rubbing his face on the fence, I couldnt see all that well, so I got my binoculars.
And sure enough, one of his eyes seems to have been ripped out and it just looks horrible. It doesnt seem to have messed up his appetite cuz momma was feeding him and he was tearing up whatever she was feeding him, and he can fly and was fat as could be...but that eye looked horrible and like it could be infected.
There was just nothing I can do to help the little thing, I just hope he will be ok. I think I will call him Willie, ya know from the move The Goonies, the pirate, One Eye Willie....
I just hope he will be ok, Im going to keep watch on him as he grows more.
