Last night while I was at work the bird managed to get into the neighbors backyard. Same one the other 2 fledglings are in.
No one saw how it did this but best guess is it did it in stages. there is stuff leaning against the fence and it could have jumped/hopped up and then over.
At this point it may be best to let it stay with it's siblings but I still think it's at a disadvantage, not being as far along in development.
I set out some food for the parents (2 hot dogs chopped up in to small bite sized pieces and a piece of birdie bread) in the hopes that they may feed some of it to ALL the fledglings. I have seen the parents eating some of the food. They are staying close to their babies to help protect them so they have not had the chance to do much foriging for their own food let alone for the offspring.
keeping my fingers crossed.
