fighting nature part two

Birdie made it through the night and was quite active today. His wounds have dried out... whatever that translates to in the world of bird recovery.
He started eating pretty well today and gained so much strength that he was trying to push the lid off the box!
I decided (much to number 3's chagrin) that he needed to be released. I wanted to put him back into nature before he forgot how to catch food on his own, or maybe before his parents forgot him, or before the local cat ate dinner.
Whatever his role is in the food chain, I hope I did the right thing and I hope to catch a glimpse of him happily splashing in the birdbath one day.
