I knew I could count on POTN for a quick answer!!! Thanks!!! We will be caring for it until it is ready to fly the coop. He seems pretty healthy so hopefully we will be successful. Thanks aain for the ID.

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | Jul 18, 2009 19:07 | #6 Yes, a Waxwing. Did you rescue it? It eats berries and fruit, mashed at that age, and bugs, maybe some crickets, mashed. The adults go after small bugs in the trees, like mosquito size, but I don't know of anything that small you can buy. Never give it bread and milk. Milk is really bad for birds.
