Meet ' Squirt & Midget'. A pair of noisy minor chicks I rescued and housed for 24 & 48 hours then released back to the wild for their parents to finish raising.

Midget was found in my driveway at 11pm one evening after returning home from a night out on the town. Squirt was dropped off on my doorstep by his parents at 6pm the next evening. I fed and housed them until the parents showed up on day three wanting their children back. I placed them in a cage outside, then opened the door and waited for them to join their parents.

This is Squirt left & Midget right.
