It was staring up at the tree, and was probably wondering WTH just happened. My Hubby picked him up, and the bird snuggled his hand for warmth. My Hubby wanted to climb up the tree to put it back in it's nest, but was worried about hurting the bird in the process so he asked me to get a shoebox. <br /> Upon my return to the tree, the bird took one look at the shoebox and flipped out. It squeezed itself out of my Hubby's hand, jumped to the ground, and ran off into the bushes. We spend a good 30 minutes trying to get it out of the shrubbery. That little jerk had us running around all over the yard. When we finally got it, my hubby decided not to use the box and climb the tree without it. Turns out my hubby couldn't reach the actual nest, but he found a spot in the tree filled with a lot of dead leaves, and put the baby in there. As soon as he came down, the mother flew down to the baby, and fluttered around snuggling it, making sure it was all right. We were overjoyed and thought that we had saved the baby for good. Wrong!<br /> At 3 A.M., my husband and I woke up to a commotion coming from the tree. We heard lots of panic chirping. When we peered out the window, we saw a racoon sitting in the spot, where my hubby put the baby bird. Someone was having a late night snack, all because we couldn't reach the actual nest. We felt guilty for a long time after that. Heck, my Hubby and I still get sad from time to time over it.The Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459471598596061411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-2623853154244226332009-06-05T11:39:02.412-04:002009-06-05T11:39:02.412-04:00I'm sure that if the baby needs it's mommy...I'm sure that if the baby needs it's mommy it will peep until she finds it.<br /><br />If not, well then, it probably wasn't smart enough to make it anyway.<br /><br />Hope my negativity makes you feel better! ;)Amohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406745191755932850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-85875808097282162502009-06-05T11:08:36.808-04:002009-06-05T11:08:36.808-04:00back away from the baby animals:)back away from the baby animals:)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392706956841158519noreply@blogger.com
