[birdky] Re: Slightly OT: Songbird Rehabber?

I was always under the impresstion that songbird parents removed
droppings from the nest area so it doesnt attract preditors?

Either way, the bird is in good hands. I do not think I did anything
improper short of feeding it to a preditor if you want to go leave it
be way. I for one hope it does well! :)
