Chica

When we got back home from the hospital and from shopping at the supermarket, I got out of the car and saw a poor defenseless, featherless chick lying on the sidewalk. It was being feasted upon by little black ants

[wicked_danu]

Most probably.. it's got nowhere else to go, the poor thing!

What's so scary about that skinny, fragile thing?!

[punkassfaery]

um...LOOK AT IT! its hairless and gray and wrinkly!! ew. but i love all things 'baby'. especially baby hamsters! they are all pink and fuzzy!! eeeeeeeeeee *squeal*

*gasp*
You're judging the poor helpless chick by its feather colors and lack of hair? Racists like you should be burnt at stake ;)

I used to have hamsters. Such brats they were! One bit me once.

Thanks for the link, but the baby has moved on. It went quietly in the night, on my side-table, in the little sock-bed that I made for it.

The feeding was getting quite frequent.. it used to beg for food whenever it felt its nest being moved!

Aw poor thing :(
Good job taking care of little Neemo!

Well hope the little bugger pulls thru...now you know why I hate ants so much! *cheep* *cheep*..i'm hungry too..can I suck your finger? :-D

[wicked_danu]

Little bugger got pulled to the other side - it died in the night. It was all lifeless and cold when I woke up today.

You can suck on anything you like lol.. not very nutritious, but still fun!

Sorry to hear sweetie...guess it needed warmth of feathers rather than A/C? :(

[wicked_danu]

Well, I didn't hold it up to the A/C's vent for it to die.. I tried giving it some warmth by putting it in a makeshift nest made from a very warm sock. Bu alas :(

[wicked_danu]

Haha, he wasn't very angry.. I don't think he had the energy!
