Hi guys! I'm 12 years old and live in W.A (in the south west of western australia ) I've cared for injured doves,rosella's,newholland honeyeaters,waterhens and magpies-and now a silvereye! I found a tiny little silvereye chick on our farm this morning an he is TINY! he is in a large cage in our house with a little nestingbox tied to the wire,perches and some natural tree branches with leaves hung in the cage.He is quite young by the looks,and can fly tiny,tiny distances.But i CAN'T get him to eat! I tried imitating a mother bird coming back from a flight with food-no help there
