This young jungle babbler fell out of its nest when my father accidentally pruned the very branch on which the nest was built. The rest of the day was spent in trying to make the chick comfortable in its own nest ensconced in a flower pot where its parents and foster parents took turn in feeding it (with Jungle babblers it is a commune system where whole group feeds the young ones) till the chick got tired of the fuss and refused to stay clamped down at one place. When last seen it was trying to go up a nearby tree in small calculated steps and the foster parents were egging it on.
