I found this lil guy on the side of the road. his eye was swollen shut so i took him in to care for him. im on my second day of caring for the little guy he can fly but not to well and when he does fly he flys for like 10 seconds and then comes right back to me. he was sitting o nthe side of a very busy street. i walked passed him and was like hmmm is that real so i picked it up to investigate and sure enough he was real
I'm assuming it's an eastern gold finch my states bird. but this is the first one i have actully seen in my location of new jersey. any advice or any other info would be greatly appreciated i got him eating a soupy bird mix out of a syringe since he hasnt eaten the seed i gave him. hes also a feldgling as you can see by his size. but he still has his baby down feathers and hes sooooo cute i do plan on releasing him once hes healed and flying.
