  1. Birds and animals are amazing when they loose a limb. I've seen broken legs on birds but not a missing leg. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Oh my stars ~ poor wee bird! Isn't it amazing how nature can adapt though. Hopefully the sweet thing is happily sitting in a nest somewhere!

    Have a great day Kerri!

  6. I think most birds can do just fine with one leg. He appears to be quite healthy and steady on his foot.

    How cool being a part of the NBN! Way to go Kerri! You always have such wonderful photos to show us : )
