That looks awesome, we rescued a young one a few years. He'd fallen to the ground and couldn't figure out how to get back up the tree. We got a ladder and put him in the fork of the tree, and he half ran half flew all the way back up to his nest. A few weeks later he and his family left the neighbourhood. We knew because the neighbour in who's yard the tree was stooped finding little bird beaks and feet on his front doorstep.
