Our mama bluebird was killed two weeks ago. She left behind 3 naked, scrawny baby bluebirds. David was immediately worried. Would the bluebird father be able to raise the babies? Here the papa is feeding meal worms to his children.
I’m happy to report that two of the baby bluebirds are still alive. They now have feathers and are growing (in spite of the Missouri heat.) David has been helping the bluebird papa by putting out extra meal worms (their favorite treat).
We love watching our bluebird family. We find it relaxing to watch them. We hope the widowed father can raise these two babies and also that he will find a new mate in the future. For now, David is helping papa bluebird raise his children. Can we call David a ‘bluebird foster father?’
