Some of you may remember my adventures with Steven the baby seagull two or three years ago He came down my bedroom chimney Well the following year Sybil came down this same route, she didn’t stay with me so long as Steven who I kept till I watched him fly off on his maiden voyage (that was magical)
Well this morning I heard a loud calling from my bedroom fireplace opened the trapdoor and pulled a reluctant Cedric down with a plop
I could hear his mum going mad so put him on my flat shed roof for her to settle him and hopefully feed him but he disappeared and I found out he had fell straight into next doors garden, crying his little heart out, silly Cedric
No one was in next door so I put a note through their door and I ve just been to collect him they were panicking not knowing what to do
He’s now in my garden under a big caster oil tree his mum has been down to check him. I ve put water breadcrumbs and cat food out not sure if he can feed himself yet but I hope so
Fingers crossed he’s easier to bring up than Silly Steven who had me on quite a few adventures
Ah, thanks BlueBelle
Isn't he just so sweet, in his tiny little "pond". 
He looks more robust than Steven did.
I wonder if he'll have the ability to remember you when he's grown?
I've read that ravens can remember someone for years and hold a grudge if you upset them...
I know Cedric isn't a corvid, but still...
Oh Bluebell you need to get cracking on that children’s book! Cedric is having so many adventures! 
I can imagine the look of shock on his face - probably similar to my cat when he fell in my bath recently! 😂
Thank you for this lovely thread, Cedric’s antics and the photos. ❤️
I sincerely hope this isn’t your Steven gone off the rails, Bluebell!

How funny Sue I hope I brought Steven up with better manners
Cedric is getting very fussy now and is spurning every morsel of food except silly crab sticks
He really needs to fly off soon he’s getting very big and I noticed today his colour round his neck area is getting lighter ready to go white but apart from jumping up and down and flexing his wings he’s not going anywhere,
He manages to get onto a few higher things in my garden but it’s more of a big hop up
He’s got to leave home soon and earn his own crusts
Thanks for the update.
Cedric does look big!!
So my boy has definitely grown he has a big wingspan and his feet are slowly losing their blackness ready to turn pink his bill is still black He has lost all his fluff and his head and neck is getting much lighter heading towards white BUT
he still hasn’t flown anywhere he flaps a bit and jumps on to plant pots but that about it
He should be flying within the next couple of weeks 🤞🏼
aww, he thanked you
