Unfortunately the little one died.I believe that it is very possible that the bird had internal injuries from being pushed out of the next or from birth.I believe this is so mainly because after the first day he/she really perked up and was responding well to the food.He/she's tongue did not seem to bother the young one at all.
I know that I cant stand to lose animal,definately one this young and helpless but I know had he/she lived most likely the bird would not be able to live in the wild due to the tongue defect.That would most likely cause the bird to choke or catch infection.I really hoped to get the bird into the Program at the Local University,just needed the little one to hang on a few more hours so I could get the info on where the facility was located but
When I got out of Bed the little guy hadnt made it Thanks for your replies I will talk to you later,
