Here's what happened... lately it's been hot down here in Palm Springs.... really hot. Today it got up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, so hot that birds were actually dropping out of the sky. We were all sitting in the pool when this guy fell right in front of us. He was standing on the pavement which was scorching hot with his beak open, so I ran inside and got water and poured it into his mouth. Then we scooped him up on this plate, filled it with cool water, and put him in the shade.

He was constipated. After he dropped a big turd on the plate, he could fly andd took off.

Bird parents don't 'come get their young'. If they fall from the nest, the mother bird *might* try feeding it, but it's outcome is most likely death.

i believe that's true with a lot of passerine birds, since the mother sometimes (or often) lets the stronger ones push the weaker ones out of the nest in order to maximise food supplies.
but this one was obviously in a later stage. mother would therefore have more invested in it, and a reason to come looking for it. still, it would depend on the species. (a wren?)

Birds don't have human emotions, quit trying to give them to them. Just like that nutty german lady who tried to love the polar bears.

who said anything about human emotions? sounds like someone needs to watch their very first nature documentary.
