I woke up at around 4am last night to the sound of a cat going crazy and then a big thud on my front door. I figured that a couple stray cats (who like to hang out on my porch) had gotten into a fight. However, this morning at around 10, I stepped out onto my porch to check out the weather, and I saw a broken bird egg, and a baby bird, still alive, on my porch. I'm guessing the stray cat killed the mom and knocked the nest down. The only thing I can figure is that the baby bird was still in the shell, and that is how it survived the fall.
I felt so bad for this baby bird. I knew it had no chance of survival, but I couldn't stand the thought of it being eaten by a cat, so I put it in a towel and brought it in. I figured it could live out the last hours of its life in peace. I didn't think it would survive but maybe a few hours, but it is still alive as of right now. I feel so bad for this bird. I don't know what to do. If it manages to survive the night, maybe I can take it to an animal hospital or something.
Why do these things have to happen 2 days before my defense? Poor little bird.
