I did a crazy rescue today

Today at work I was doing some work and heard rustling at a bird nest and went to investigate. A baby bird fell out and I tried to catch it but missed. It landed without injury and after trying several things I was finally loaned a ladder so that I could push the baby back in. It wasn't a baby baby bird, looked like the little one had its adult feathers coming in. The mother showed up and I yelled that I was just trying to return its baby. Someone said it looked like a baby mocking bird.

 

WTG liz4t!! Just looove hearing (errr...reading!) about wildlife rescues! Was the bird accepted back o.k.??

 

from all appearances yes. it was so ugly but at the same time so cute. I had to use an empty shoebox as a carrier until a solution was discovered.

 

On Sunday,I also found a baby bird which had fallen from its nest.It looked so cute.It was a baby sparrow.I wasn't able to take it in my hands because I'm afraid of all animals,insects and birds(especially).I don't know why but I can't touch them.My hands tremble and my mouth starts shouting without my control whenever I try to do it.

Firstly,I took some photos of it as it was for the first time I saw a bird from close up.I was also not able to tell my mom or dad about it because they weren't at home.The only thing I could do was to leave it there in the garden but then I thought that cat would eat it.
So I took a long stick and struck it hardly on the ground near it so that it would move.It worked !! Then I put little pieces of bread near him\her.But it didn't ate them (I don't know how to care for a baby bird).I sat there on a chair and was looking at him constantly.(I was actually protecting him from other animals)

After some time,it started to move towards Arabian jasmine which is 5 to 6 feet tall.It started to climb it by him\herself .I saw him opening his mouth again and again so I ate a biscuit which contained plastic package inside.Then I put water in it and tied it on the stick which I had.I then helped him to drink water from that plastic container by moving the stick slowly towards his mouth.(it drank water from it).Its parents were then able to saw him.Then I hear my phone ringing so go inside the house.When I came back after 5 to 6 or maybe 7 or 8 mins,It wasn't there.I immediately ran into the house again to bring binoculars.With the help of binoculars,I saw the nest.I was safely sitting in the nest.
I missed the best part but I'm happy for it.

That was my story of how I rescue a baby bird.This probably be the most strangest and funniest rescue baby bird story ever as I rescue it without touching it.

 

Lol!! It was a wonderful story, hopy14!! You went to a lot of trouble to help that poor wee bird!
I hope, when it grows up, it will come and sing you a sweet little song of gratitude, and tweet little secrets outside your window for you to wonder about and enjoy!!

 

Lily_pink, I hope so it happens but I would shout if I saw it her to my window.

 

I hope so it happens, too, hopy14! It would be wonderful!
Do you think it might scare her away if you shout? Then her songs and secrets might not be yours......?

 

Yeah,it would scare me and I would scare her

 

Ι really liked both of the bird rescue stories
liz4t and hopy14 you did a great job, the birds were very lucky to "meet" you
