YES! The mama bird found the carrier and has been going in and out of it checking up on and feeding her baby. I am so happy about this. 
I've taken care of baby birds before, and it is a lot of work, but I was prepared to do it for this one if its mama didn't take over. The very young ones need to eat every hour or two, similar to human babies, so I was exhausted getting up at all hours for a few weeks. But it is rewarding to watch them grow and then to release them once they can fly.
Thank you all for your concern and advice. I'm so happy that its mama didn't abandon it. |

Oh, I wish I knew how to work the video on my new camera so that I could post a video of baby and mama bird here. Darn it! It really is so cute to watch them.  |

Okie dokie! Give me a minute and I'll post a picture. 
Alrighty, the fist one is a video (my daughter showed me how the video worked on my camera). Unfortunately, you can't see the baby bird because I had to take this from inside my house. And the mom didn't show up either, so maybe she was out looking for food. (just click on the picture and it should play)
I had my daughters cover me in case the mom came back, but here is a picture of the bird in our cat carrier. Isn't it a cutie?
Its mommy put that little orange seed in there.  |

I really don't think she will. She's probably thinking, "Where was thing thing while I was taking forever building that darn nest?!?" In fact, I'm pretty sure she's trying to figure out how to get the ones in the nest into the carrier.  |

No, she only lived a few years and passed on but I had a baby one here named Wally that I had been hand-feeding since she was little for over a year and a half now. She started using the neighbors expensive porch cushions as nesting material so he trapped and relocated her. She has a notch in her ear so she is easy to recognize. I was sad but at least she wasn't killed, he knew I would have gone nuts, so to speak and they are unpredictable animals.
So the hubby was playing golf down at the CF golf course in our neighborhood and on the last hole by the clubhouse, there she was! He called her name, she stood up and came toward him. He didn't have any nuts or anything so she just scampered off, bored with him. Made me happy and the hubby said she looked good and was in a good place there. Maybe to him, he likes golf!
I just love making unique connections like that!
Maybe your birds will stay close and you can enjoy them as they get older as well. |

I had racoons for a while, but I do NOT recommend feeding them! The top cutie told all of his friends, and it went downhill from there....they would climb up the walls of my stucco house to look in my windows if they were hungry, and they tore up my lawn. I ended up having to stop feeding them because it got TOTALLY out of control.
