Little Bird

Sooo... yesterday when I got off from work I stopped by my mom's house to pick up my son. She handed me this:

She said she found it on a mound of dirt. We looked for its nest to no avail. She has cats and dogs so leaving it out there would have meant certain death. Plus it was sort of chilly that evening... so, I took the little shit home. I have heat lamps all over because of our reptiles and spiders and also various kinds of food because of our array pets.

Anyway I took it home and tried to feed it. It appeared not to be interested. It was the late evening so I imagine that the poor baby was tired. I just put it near a lamp and hoped for the best. Morning came and it still wouldn't eat. Knowing that I couldn't feed it every hour or so due to my jobs I began looking for someone to take it. I called the Museum of Natural History and they gave me the names of a few people who rehabilitate wildlife in the area. I called around and a police officer in the area met me at around 9:30 am. By then the baby was opening his beak - he was ready for breakfast. 😁

The officer said that he had an incubator and some different things to feed him so I sent the little one with him. I figured he had a better chance of survival with someone who knew what they were doing. I'm wishing him the best!
