I'm pretty sure this is actually a two legged dog mate...

Life is hard on young birds, it’s aged as a second year bird. Most people don’t know that only 1 of 5 birds hatched will live to be two years old. That hold for all birds, most don’t make it, nature pulls no punches.

Thanks for those insights, Jim.
Does this one look healthy? As a second-year bird, do you think it has beaten the odds?
