Pupils are different sizes, but are also in different lighting. Feathers on left side of chest are sticking out abnormally and the left leg isn’t visible when it should be, indicating a potential issue with that leg. Baby needs to come in for care.
Borderline too young to be out of the nest. Left eye is partially squinted, indicating a potential head or eye injury. Right wing looks abnormally positioned. Baby needs to come in for care.
This photo was taken by our staff after performing a field exam. The baby was reported potentially entangled, so we went out to help extract and assess. The baby had extracted itself by the time we arrived and an exam found no injuries. This photo shows even wing and leg use as well as an appropriate behavioral response for this age, indicating a healthy baby. If this was a finder photo, we would not be concerned about the baby’s health.
Borderline too young to be out of the nest. Flight feathers that are growing in look misshapen and the baby’s posture is abnormal, indicating likely injury or growth deformity. Baby needs to come in for care.
No obvious abnormalities in photo. Questions about behavior indicated the baby had been there for over 8 hours without moving though, which can be a cause for concern. Our staff was unable to assess status from the photo and behavior description so went to perform a field exam. The baby hopped to its feet and ran away as soon as we approached and an exam reveled no injuries so it was able to remain with its parents.
