Media notes

These are the calls of a nestling that was rescued from a busy street and hand fed. On the day of the recording, it had just learned to fly a short distance. The first part includes its usual hunger cries and the last part includes its response to a playback of its own cries when it became very agitated and flew about rather wildly. Response to playback: Different song. Other Behaviors: Beg.
