I wonder how they survived losing their leg? Or were they born that way?davholla, I also had a one legged Mocking bird for one full winter.
The missing leg(s) are from injury. The mocking bird's leg was missing from below the joint 'knee'? I haven't seen a stub on the baby Grackle, but he is very awkward. Has to put a wing down for balance when hoping on the ground.I wonder how they survived losing their leg? Or were they born that way?
Good point. He is not totally dependent on my feeders. He is gone for long periods through the day and I'm sure able to do ok on his own. If he sticks around and needs more help this winter, I'll step up, of course.He'll be fine with just one leg, it'll make hunting a bit harder though. Just make sure he's hunting for food and not just coming to you for a feed.
