I was walking Bella on Friday and she saw this little bird on the sidewalk that had fallen from its nest. I looked up and couldn't find the next but its Mom and Dad and three other birds were frantically trying to help this little guy. I went home and came back and the little guy was trying to hide under a leaf. Well the temperature was reaching over 90 degrees and no shade at all so I got a napkin and picked him up and took him home. I know the odds were very small but at least the little guy would die in peace. I took him home made a little nest and feed him sugar water. He loved it. He started chirping away and he climbed on a stick and then we covered the box and he went to sleep. In the morning guess what? He survived! He stayed on his little stick all night. We put him on our patio because he was chirping and we thought maybe his Mom and Dad would hear him. He was stretching his little wings and then he started grooming himself. We made another little nest for him and my husband put it up in a tree where we thought the nest would have been and within seconds little bird's Mom and Dad came flying around. They were so excited! We left and the adult birds came over to feed their baby. I'm hoping the baby bird will be okay!

Little Baby Bird
