We found a blackbird today that seems to have injured its back leg or legs.
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to potentially treat/help this
problem.  The bird seems to be settled down now and is resting.  I was
able to feed it a worm about 1 1/2 hours ago.  Does anyone also ...

My sister is unable to find the preferred food for her 2-year-old Lori,
Max.  He is becoming depressed and anxious, and she is concerned he may
