Yes, this new friend of mine thought he was more grown up than he actually is. He tried to fly out of his nest but instead came falling down into our garden. He's been here since Tuesday. He hops around our garden, hiding in bushes until my dog accidentally finds him and he hops his little way to the next nearest bush. He still thinks he can fly coz in the third picture, he's trying to run away from the camera by trying to fly. When he didn't succeed, he ran into the bushes again. He's so cute. I want to keep him. But his parents are looking after him. The made him a nest on the ground and come out to feed him. And i've been told that I can't pick him up becoz our human smell when stick to him and then his parents might reject him. :( I don't want that to happen!

So ning or anyone else who's an expert on animals, in particular birds, I wanted to know how long it will take before Birdie can fly? Obviously I'm not sure how old he is... but he has been in our garden for four days now. And we can't let our doggie out becoz we're scared she'll harm Birdie. He seems to be doing alright coz his parents are around. I just hope he learns to fly soon before anything bad happens. But till then, I will take good care of him. :D
