poor little bird x


This poor little bird was soaked through, so i put him in a nice warm box and tried to feed him, then i put him down my cleavage to warm him up.!!!(i heard this from a woman who saved 2 baby robins this way!) Not sure which species he was, as he was SO tiny, it was difficult to tell. Would appreciate it, if one of you could help ID him, for future reference x


He was starting to dry off here x



I took this one just after he died, as you can see his colours better. Poor thing, its so sad x

This is the first time i've seen a baby blackie being fed by its mum! How cute!!!


The goldies dont usually use the large bird bath, they have their own small one! This pic is better viewed large!



Well....erm....The sturks invaded today!!!!




This 'new' baby blackie just sat on my patio for ages, its so sweet! Then its mum came and fed it, bless x





...and then there was the woodie invasion!!!
