I have a crow chick in my garden

Topics

LGS

what should I do, it has been there for 2 days now, he can't fly yet, I'm worried the cats or foxes might get it.

Should I leave it, ots parents are coming back to feed him so not worried about that, just want him to flap his wings and fly. shall I move it to a safer place or leave it?

just leave it if its parents are there and you touch it the parents might not recognise it as you will alter its scent. I know its hard but you need to leave it to nature

I'd leave it. Nature, innit? The parents are looking out for it, and two adult crows are enough to see off any cat

I would just leave it. I have 3 baby blackbirds in my garden and the parents see off any cat that comes within 50ft of my garden. Just wish they would stay around and stop the cats crapping in my flower bed.

Not one of my cats they're not!!

She brought home two little fledgling magpies last week - poor little blighters.

The magpie parents were creating a helluva fuss but it made no difference to our monster!

Luckily we managed to save them and took them to our local wildlife sanctuary where they are now being looked after.

Hope your baby crow will survive LGS.

If that happens, then c'est la vie.
Sounds cruel, but there are plenty of other crows..
