Our Phoebe chick at work. 12 days old. We are down to one chick - the second one disappeared when it was about a week old. We are guessing it fell out and got eaten by something. This one leapt out of the nest today, but didn't seem too adept at flying. I scooped it up and put it back in the nest. (No, the parents won't reject it).

Good to know the part about picking it up/not getting rejected. We have a nest of baby wrens in the end of our clothesline "T." I found a dead baby on the ground today, close to the nest. Poor little guy. Stupid cycle of life.
