罗宝宝成长记
【罗宝宝成长记 · 8】离巢 · 终结篇 罗小一罗小二一大早就离巢了，两只fledgling当然飞不远，不费太大功夫就找到了他们。 罗小一已经能站立起来，看到我走近居然张嘴讨食，可给他蚯蚓却不会吃，愣是看着蚯蚓从嘴里又爬出来了? 罗小二状态差很多，扑腾几下翅膀就累着了，张张嘴，很无力的样子，步履蹒跚稍微挪动了一下然后就睡了。 过了两小时，罗小二依然原地趴着，眼睛无力地睁开又闭上，奄奄一息。担心他被其他动物伤害，我把他挪回了窝里，无奈无力回天，小二黯然离世?。罗小一倒是分分钟有长进，下午再喂他蚯蚓时就能很果断地吃下去，吃饱了还要蹦跶几下扑扇几下翅膀，愉快地做了半天老五，待在掌心能吃能睡能玩。 空巢的惆怅突然袭来，跟随了近两周的宝宝们终于离开了。罗宾fledgling的成活率是50%，我家算是平均值。罗小一临走前跟我们亲密接触一番也算是没白疼他了。 上一篇：羽翼渐丰
