Hey All,
I have been watching 2 murray's raise a nest full of babie lately, and this morning one was on the ground. It's fully feathered, but still young and has no tail (pretty close to leaving the nest I think(. The remaining 2 chicks are still int eh nest (but sitting right on the edge) and I have been watching them for about an hour now, and the parents have fed the chicks in the nest several times, and haven't been to the chick on the ground once, or really even noticed it's there.
There is no way I can get the chick back in the nest (too high) and I'm reluctant to leave it on the ground considering the forcast in adelaide today is 40 degrees.
Shouls I take it in? I've raised baby birds before and know how to do it all, but I'm reluctant to interfer, but it just seems that the parents are 'ignoring' it now it's fallen out the nest.
Thanks All,
Nina
