guardian angel
yesterday i released one of my baby birds. he was more mature than the rest and kept escaping and flying off. so we let him go. it was actually easier on me than i'd imagine. well, until my dad kept saying, 'you should leave some food out for him....not that i think he'll ever come back.' or 'maybe make a little shelter for him, even though its likely he's never coming back.'
like man, keep rubbing it in my face that i may never see my baby bird again. after he kept doing that i was getting sad. so i fed the rest, left some food out for him and made a shelter. in the morning the food was gone, but that coulda been eaten by anything.
but yay for me, my baby was still around in the morning and chirping like crazy at me when i came outside. i'm so happy he survived the nite, thats what i was worried about cuz i always made sure to keep them warm and they were never alone, so i can imagine what his nite was like :(
so i fed him before i went to work. he wouldn't come too close to me (probably scared that i was gonna catch him and put him back in the box lol) but he ate off his little spoon.
after work though my parents told me a scary story.apparently my baby almost died today. we have this really sweet stray cat that hangs around our place, and i guess my birdy was flying around, and my dad happened to just look outside at the exact moment the cat jumped and caught my bird midflight. my dad just let out a yell and scared the shit out of the cat, the cat dropped my bird and my dad scooped him up and my mom came running out and hosed down the cat.
my birdy is traumatized and is so scared, but he's back in the box and safe. thats one lucky bird, my dad didn't even have a reason for looking out the window cuz i guess him and my mom were heading out to go shopping. and they were gonna go out the front door and this happened in the back.
my daddy saved my baby. when i heard what happened i was so upset and ran to see if my bird is ok. and he's just fine.
lucky birds have a guardian angel watching over them.
