Hi to everyone,
My cat this morning brought to my front door a small nest complete with two baby birds, one dead, one very much alive at the bottom of the nest. My problem is that I have quite a large front yard with quite a few trees and have no idea where the cat found the nest. I have placed it in a bottlebrush for now in hopes that the parents will find it and a couple of honey eaters have visited but I think they were only curious.
I have taken some photos in the hope that some one may recognise this bird. I realise that it may be very difficult because it is only about 2 or 3 days old I think. I can tell you that the nestling has pink legs and the nostrils are very prominent little bumps not far from the tip of the beak, and it is developing grey feathers.
I have only been able to post these two photos of the dead bird as the other files are too large and I don't know how to reduce them.
My request is urgent. I hope someone can please help.
