One of my favorite birds!

[@anitacoogan4822]

Thank you so much for the information, I've never seen one or knew about them. Looks so exotic

They do don’t they! First time I saw one I couldn’t believe my eyes! I said what is this bird and where did it come from??!!

I think I had a bunch of these birds dive bomb me and my church friends outside the church. They were flying around catching insects in the air. I'm in touch with a rehabber who needs my help with birds and I have skills to show her all about birds. I've performed many techniques on pet birds and rehabilitated a male yellow bellied sapsucker all by myself and released Twiggy after 3 days of feeding and care until he was strong enough to be released back into the wild. He hung around and would talk to me reee he'd say and poke his head around the tree and look at me. He got really fat, too from thriving in the wild. Well, he was the appropriate weight after several days of being released. I will have to hunt for the pictures and video I had taken of him in captivity. I released him Christmas day 2011 and said here's a birthday to Jesus my king and lord. He must've been happy with the gift of the bird bc when I moved out on my own, I heard one at my window but it wasn't Twiggy. But same species. I fed Twiggy crickets, baby beef Gerber food like worm patte and veggies of baby food, syrup, etc. And my mom snapped a picture of me and Twiggy and he was lapping up food from a bowl perched on the rim of the bowl. Such a hardy bird. If inever find the pictures at the old house in my old bedroom and video, I'm going to send them in to the news so everyone can see him and enjoy a close up and care of the YBSS. That's short term for his species of bird. He let me get near him in a tree and I reached out to touch him and he flew away, which I wanted to make sure he was finally a wild bird again. My dad said he was weak when my cousin had picked him up 30 minutes from where I lived at her place of work. She could have left him alone and maybe the parents would have fed him on the ground, but he looked like he had been trying to learn how to fly. We had pet birds to keep him company and I put him in a dog carrier and my dad had made a perch for him and my dad said be very quiet, he's asleep on the perch. I fed him around the clock getting up earlier to feed our birds and Twiggy too.
