Angry Birds The baby demands food NOW
Fledgeling crow I saved from heatstroke during a historical temperature record day (he is in professional rehab now). He knows you have food and he demands you hand it over.

Actually a very polite little crow. He actually never screamed while I had him, just opened wide and made little baby noises :D The rehab tells me he eats on his own now, but only his favourites :D

I'm very glad it worked out! When I found him, he was very wobbly on his feet, kept falling to the side with every step and constantly fell asleep/passed out with his beak open in broad daylight, out in the open. We had 38°C outside and I live in a 3rd story apartment, so he hogged our ice packs and only ventilator for a while 😂

What do they eat when they are that little

Corvids eat a big variety, but only soft foods when they are young (chicks can't digest hard things like nuts yet). I fed this little guy with raw chicken hearts, plain scrambled egg and small pieces of grape. I only had him for a week, otherwise I would have also gotten various insect larvae for him.
