From: GUEST,Wesley S About 1:30 into this song you'll see how Josh Williams reacts when a small bird lands on his guitar during a concert. Do you make it fly away or do you serenade it? What to do when a bird lands on your guitar during a performance. |

22 Jan 12 - 09:59 PM (#3294765) Subject: RE: When a bird lands on your guitar...... From: Janie I am 99% sure it was a newly fledged Carolina Wren. They are nearly as "at home" around humans as are House Wrens. Josh Williams responded beautifully. |

Janie that's a good eye you have. I could only tell it was newly fledged. The way it crash-landed I wouldn't be surprised if that was its first time out of the nest. Certainly its first day. I only hope I'm as lucky some day. |

23 Jan 12 - 11:23 AM (#3295005) Subject: RE: When a bird lands on your guitar...... From: GUEST,leeneia I once called the wildlife rehab place near me when something similar happened. I was told that the fledgling's parents are nearby, watching it, and the thing to do is to put the little one IN THE SHADE in a place where the parents can find it. Shade is critical; hot sun will dehydrate a little bird rapidly. In the case of the bluegrass festival, I would try to get the fledgling far enough away from the stage so that music and people walking about don't confuse the parent birds. Even if the parent birds don't understand what has happened, they will find the fledgling by calling to it and listening for its cheeping replies. |

23 Jan 12 - 05:59 PM (#3295162) Subject: RE: When a bird lands on your guitar...... From: GUEST,Fossil at work The first comment on the YouTube site was that he had handed the bird over to a young lady veterinarian in the crowd, who had taken it home and looked after it. She had later apparently emailed to say it was a Cardinal and it was doing fine. I have no idea of the native bird life in that region, so can't comment. But it's nice to know it ended well. And Rusty Dobro; LOL, best ad-lib I've seen all year! |

Janie, the coloring did look like wren though didn't it. Thank you Fossil. Now I can enjoy the scene happily. Cheers, Joy |

23 Jan 12 - 08:34 PM (#3295219) Subject: RE: When a bird lands on your guitar...... From: Leadfingers When I was but a lad my Bro and I found a fledged Crowlet that was being stalked by a cat , while Mom and Dad Divebombed the cat to keep the youngster safe ! Where the Crowlet was was NOT a good place to get away from - A Bomb Damamged open air swimmimg pool - so we took Crowlet home (NOT Too far from the park where Home Nest was) and deposited same in what HAD been a Rabbit Run , Fenced but open to the sky . It wasnt long til Mom and Dad Crow turned up , but it was three days before they could get Crowlet far enough up the trees at the end of our garden to make it back to the park , so I DO know how well Parent Birds can find stray offspring ! That is one LOVELY Vid , and its good to know it had a happy outcome ! |
