Hi, By only describing this helpless feathered kid as "a dark object" we don't have much to go on as far as feeding it is concerned, especially. It could be a crow, eats anything; it could be a chickadee, eats either seeds; could be a sparrow also a seed eater; or being dark, but maybe not "black" it could be a dove or pigeon, both seed eaters. Of course you didn't mention the size either, so it could even be any medium sized one like a hawk or such, meat eater. Watch it closely a bit as it'll come around as it warms up IF it does make it; the Papillions may enjoy this extra "treat" even if it doesn't make it!!(sorry but I just couldn't resist this one. A friend of mine has a Rat Terrier and a Min Pin and the Terrier caught a mouse and the MinPin ATE IT! Life in the Carnivore Lane! My favorite bird story is the one when my husband and I bought a canary while on our honeymoon and gave it to his Mother. We lived with his parents when first married and he went to Officers' Candidate School in Georgia. Well, Mom Ramey loved the bird but would let it loose in the house at times (against my wishes) and one day it flew into the fan (no AC in those days)! The next time I talked to Herb and told him about it, he was quick to put humor in everything and said, "Oh, shredded Tweet"! Ok, I'll lurk a bit but hope the courage you have in saving a critter that upsets you works.

When I let the dogs out this morning, the one Pap wouldn't get off the porch. I saw a dark object by the porch. Then the object moved. It was a bird freezing to death. So I wrapped a towel around it and put it in a box and now have it over a warm register. I don't really expect it to make it, but what else can I do? And if it starts to move around, what then? Again, I know nothing about birds, but I couldn't sit in my nice warm house and know that the bird was dying right by my front porch. I have always been afraid of birds, since I was little and my grandmother's parakeet got loose and landed on my head!!!
