An abandoned kitten nicknamed Frankie had staked out a McDonald’s restaurant as its feeding grounds, and for more than a year, subsisted mainly on handouts from employees and customers.

A Gray-cheeked Thrush contemplates abandoning all dignity and face-diving into an orange. If you ask me, no bird looks more at home with an orange than a male Baltimore. Like peas and carrots. Tennessee Warbler. Of all warblers, the humble and adaptable TEWA has the strongest preference for oranges. Northern Parula.

Today, Barn Owls can be found across both islands, hunting open fields at twilight or comfortably resting in abandoned relics of the sugar cane industry. Years later, a small group of us ventured into some forest adjoining abandoned cocoa estates in central Trinidad searching for a view of this bird.

A large removal of buckthorn or any other trees can cause birds to abandon a yard. If it’s a case of birds abandoning a feeding station, it could be that the food offered is old: did you get that seed at an unbelievable discount–chances are it’s old and if your neighbor is offering fresher fare the birds will visit them.

Barreling into your feeder with reckless abandon and cleaning you right out. But imagine those flocks are verdant green, a color unmatched by any native bird currently in North American (north of Mexico, of course). Imagine those sun-headed, screeching demons alighting on a stand of cockleburrs or sweetgum or sycamore. Can you imagine it?

If you work with other people, one of you holds the newly-arrived bird and the other one cleans, bandages, splints, wraps, and, if need be, chases down and kills the flat flies that start abandoning ship once they suspect the Mite and Lice Spray is coming. However, if you work alone and there are flat flies, you’re up a creek.

After doing all this pretty much by themselves, the females abandon the young before they can fly, usually 30 to 50 days after they hatch. Females often move broods downstream to larger lakes, rivers and bays from smaller streams and ponds near the nest site 1. They are able to fly at 60 to 75 days old and do just fine without mom.
