Rescue Update

Dorian has revealed himself to be a sparrow - which I had suspected all along. I still amaze myself when I listen to others even when I know best. I asked our other human denizens why they thought it was a mynah bird. Oh, it had a yellow beak. Dont you know all baby birds have yellow beaks?
Dorian is showing the most personality I have ever seen in a sparrow. Its almost two weeks since he arrived and he will be full grown in about 4 days. His feathers are fluffy and thick, the yellow skin on his beak is starting to disappear. He calls and cheeps and loves a cuddle. I have modified Pidge's winter cage for him, so he sits out on the back deck now, chatting to the other sparrows that come down for a free feed. Although he could feed himself he'd rather not, at this stage. He's been learing to fly, crawling up onto a perch and hurling himself from it with an undeniable fury.
All hail, little Dorian Gray!
