<< We have a young bird that I have taken under my wing LOL
It has its feathers. And apprently trying to fly.
Any idea's what to feed it. Gave it water in a dropper.
Tried mashing up worms, blah! but he won't have anything to do with it. >>

Put it back in the nest if you can. What kind of bird is it? Bluejays are
watched over by their parents even after they leave the nest. The fledlings
are dangerously hanging out on the ground for a couple of days before they
finally take off.
Many parent birds partially digest the food and regurgitate it into the
babies beak.
The best thing you can do is either put it back in the nest or get it to a
wildlife sanctuary as quickly as possible.
They have special bird "formula".
Try Audobon society or a vet to find someone that will help.

Same here.
I don't see bluntness equal to rudeness.
Clarity equal to an attack.
Experience equal to meanness.
I think it's something called defensiveness that causes people to react that
way to certain posts. If we just think through the information and read it at
face value, there is no meanness, no rudeness. Just to the point and true.
Or maybe there is some projection going on?
