Please tell me what happened to the bird. Was it sick or enchanted with the music?

[Ted Lehmann]

I wish I could tell you what happened to it. It was a fledgling that fluttered out of its nest and flew off after the song. I don't know if it was able to return to the nest above the stage or not. Thanks for asking. - Ted

faaake!!!!

[Ted Lehmann]

Sorry to tell you, Reeshon, but that's exactly the way it happened.

"For our next number, we'd like to play 'I'll Fly Away.'"

[Ralph D'Souza]

The song is called Mordecai. That's definitely Bloodwing.

if a racoon appeared it woud be awesome...

I have to agree with you. I have on several occasions handled my fledglings and the parents have still cared for them. That is what my parents always stressed upon me. My parents lied A LOT! LOL

[Richard Norris]

That's actually a myth. Birds won't abandon their young if a Human touches them; in fact, their olfactory nerves are pretty small so they probably wouldn't even be able to tell if you're careful.

precious! I love Josh and this video! Makes me cry EVERY time!

favoritest video !!!

[Kimberly Priest]

As long as his parents didn't reject him for being touch by Josh he is probably just fine. I handle my fledgings when they fall out too soon and their parents never seems to care but they are used to me. As long as they continued to care for him he is fine. Love the video. I'd love to hear more of your music as well. I really enjoyed it.

I have vivid memories of birds (especially robins) entering our kitchen at home and people near to me dying.
