Tiny Bird Thing was all snoozy 'till about 7am, then he started running about & screeching for food (luckily, I'd had the presence of mind to transfer him from the fastfood cup to a disposable plastic bowl w/ holes punched in the lid, lined w/ bunches of toilet paper).
Woke Squeezums up around 10am, & headed off to find the fabled Bird Lady of Altamonte Springs.
It's a strange place: residential home, sign on the door saying to knock, then enter if you don't get an answer.
Inside is stuffed full of cages of all kinds, full of birds of all kinds (what I assumed was a dog on the voicemail message turned out to be some sort of crow-type thing in a large dog crate), stacks of clean linens, a couple of young-to-middlin volunteers, & a very grey lady.
"What've ya got?"
"I think it's a mockingbird..."
"How big?"
"Tiny..."
I opened the bowl, the birdle lunged out demanding his breakfast, & Bird Lady scooped him up & proceeded to feed him a cricket.
We filled out some paperwork, gave them a pittance of a donation, & were on our way.
I think Tiny Bird Thing is gonna be alright. ^_^
Also, the Bird Lady is far beyond awesome. Must go volunteer, sometime. Remind me.
