i was post-breakfast, but pre-getting dressed, when my mother pulled up short in the living room, staring out through the glass storm door into the backyard. she said something on the order of "Looks like there's another trapped bird."

my mother later accused the squirrel (everybody seems to have Squirrel Grudges lately!) that continually raids our feeders, for jumping atop it just as the baby bird was trying to get out. but however it happened, the bird had managed to get jammed/trapped at the bottom of the caged (supposedly squirrel-proof... yeah, RIGHT!) bird feeder, and was freaking out.

i ran outside in my nightgown, placing a hand in front of the baby bird to deny it sight and calm it down, and worked its little head back into the cage, and its wing out from under the lower perch. mom helped me get the feeder off its hanger, and i turned it sideways, slipping the bird out through the bars.

it sat in my hand a second, and mom said "I think it might have broken its foot or wing or something."

but the baby bird suddenly flew away, none the worse for wear.
