I had the fortune of meeting Einstein, a baby bird last week.  She or he, we don’t know which yet, fell about eight stories out of its nest and landed on the ground.  Luckily, my colleague found the bird and rescued it.  It is no bigger than my index finger and is living on a mix of egg and some high protein cat food.  Einstein is so tiny that it has to be fed small pieces of food held with tweezers.  Remember, the parents would normally drop food into the hungry bird’s mouth.  If you look at the photo you can see the outline of its yellow mouth.  Right now it looks like Einstein is a catbird but time will tell if that is the case.

I just received some great news, Einstein is a bluebird.  Here is a photo below of what he or she is starting to look like.
