Baby Pheasant and baby Californian Quail in yesterday


It was two baby pheasants but one died overnight unfortunately. The other pheasant and the little Quail are feeding a bit better today but it is always hard with such tiny ones.

The unknown fledgling is doing well but has a bit of a mangled foot - probably caused by the cat. It is too tiny to do anything with it at present though. Lulu the dove is doing well.
(Actually, it is not a pheasant - tis another quail I think and both are doing just fine.)

And, yesterday a juvenile Weka in that has been hit by a car. It has survived overnight and seems quite bright. Has eaten and both legs are working. How I shall relocate it with its family though, makes me wonder! Too young to be on its own. Last thing I want is another Weka in an aviary for months - they are so very noisy.
