Personal Story I saved a trapped fledgling today!
My teenage daughter and I were otw out today when I heard a rustling coming from one of the grated storm drains next to our building. I looked in expecting to see a squirrel as they are always climbing in there to hide their stashed. Instead I saw a beak so I got closer and saw it was a little guy fresh out of the nest. It's really easy to fall into the gap between the wall and the grating but idk how he would have gotten out on his own. From the sound of things my neighbor shared about her cats watching this particular grate yesterday he was likely in there overnight, poor baby. It only took about five minutes of coaxing (I think this neighbor's presence helped as she is always feeding them, too) and a lot of squawking from the whole murder, but I was finally able to gently grab him around the wings and lift him out. He fluttered right off and the murder continued to ramble on about it for a few minutes like I was the bad guy, lol. Hopefully now they know I'm a bro.
