Injured bird?

Reddit Animals

My landlord and I found this bird on the ground unable to fly. Is it just a chick, or closer to a fully grown bird? When it lands, it's right wing always lays extended, though it's able to bring the wing close to its body when we pick it up.

Birding Wawushan, Sichuan

10,000 Birds

In many ways, birding Wawushan is a nightmare for a solitary and crowd-hating birder like me. An unnamed bird guide called them “avoidless tourists”, which sums it up rather nicely. So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience.
