I rescued a baby bird last Friday

You did well to rescue the bird, I'm surprised that it survived, the shock of being caught by Cookie could have killed it. You did the right thing to look up how to care for it, well meaning people kill birds out of ignorance. So that little bird was plucky and lucky and it had a mother who did not give up and a carer who took care.

You are very kind to birds and let the baby bird go back to nature.I think you have done your bit for the ecological balance.I find out not a few mylotters are bird lover.What impressed me most is one of my mylot friends said in a discussion that he /she spends a lot of money on feeding wild birds every year.

That's a nice experience for you, and obviously very beneficial to the bird. it's good that you took the time to research and find out what the right thing to do is.

Yay! That is so very, very cool. A beautiful little black bird flew into my window and was knocked on conscience. Long story short I picked it up and put it in a box on our patio table. I could tell its little heart was still beating. It took a half a day or so before it could fly away. All I did was make sure it had water and kept the coyotes and cats at bay. I really should put something on our windows to show birdies it's a window. Anyhow, well done Dragon...

It was very thoughtful of you to rescue the baby bird. Same goes for your lovely doggy. Obviously, Cookie knew you would do what was right. I just wish there were more people like you around.

great experience frnd. hats off to u for saving life of creature. i also once tried to save a sparrow baby. i brought it inside my house and gave water and boiled rice. i tried to put it on the wall but its unsecure for it as the wall was not covered properly and cat might come and eat it. so i brought it inside and put it in a box. but after 2 days it die. i feel so sorry for it but it would be its destiny. cheers.

I remember fondly when I lived in my old place where we had four cats, I was forever rescuing frogs from their clutches, I lost count the amount of times they would bring in frogs, fortunately most of the time I was around to catch them. I bought a couple of tanks to put the frogs in, the last thing I wanted to do was to let them go only for the cats to bring them back in again! When I got a collection of frogs I would carefully put the tank in my car and drive to the nearest lake and let them free. It's a wonderful feeling when you save an animal, no matter how small.

While I haven't rescued a baby bird, I did rescue a baby squirrel when I was in junior high school. When I was visiting one of my great aunts' house a baby squirrel had been pecked on the back of the neck and had a large infected bump there when we found it on the ground. It was obvious that just leaving it alone would not work for it to survive. So I took it home and with help from my mother, we lanced the infected bump and nursed the squirrel back to health. It was too small to be returned to the wild immediately, so it became a sort of pet for some time while it was growing up. We were able to even handle it and treat it like some other house pet. But as it got closer to being grown it became obvious this would not be good in the long term. I eventually had to start keeping it in the garage in a cage. After awhile of that, I started leaving the cage door open. Eventually it would start venturing out into the yard for short times and returning to the cage. This went on for several months with the time it spent away from the cage getting longer until it was out most of the day but was returning to the cage at night. Then it starting staying out at night and soon quit returning to the cage. There were several squirrels that we would see around our yard but there was one that was much less afraid of me and I knew it was the one that I had helped.

what a lovely thing. you are such a kind person. dragons must be much nicer then portrayed in moviesnow when you hear bird songs you will suspect its that one you saved
