Trying to save a baby bird
This morning Winston was very interested in the spot I found the chick then I saw there was another chick right where I found the first one. It was still alive and Winston was trying to be gentle with nuzzles and licks but it didn't survive his attempt to get it moving with his paw. Al that happened in seconds before I could get over to him. When I called he looked up at me then back to the chick as if to say "I'm doing something important here and could use your help!" I think he really was trying to help the baby, no attempt to chew or even mouth it, just lick and nuzzle. |

| Did the mother push it out or did wind carry it out? Did an older sibling push them out? Usually if you get the newly fallen back into the nest ASAP all will be well. Mosters may push out babies when there are just too many to feed for the available food sources. Anything that young is almost impossible to save. How sweet Winston didn't eat it. |
| Archie always gets our attention when our rotten cats have brought birds and animals and equally appears distraught at these poor things not behaving normally, frogs send him a bit scared not so sure to approach as closely obviously the guarding instinct isn't solely for sheep. |
| We have baby birds too, robins. They will go back in the nest! However, Layla, spends ALL DAY, EVERYDAY, sitting there, staring at the nest. They finally jumped out this weekend, and boy was that a race trying to catch Layla and Ramsey so they couldn't have dinner! Haha. Happy to say, they are safe and sound! |
