I've always had a fondness in my heart for the little dinosaur-footed creatures with wings. As a kid I found a Mockingbird baby on the ground that had been abandoned and I nursed her back to health until she was able to be released back into the wild. But ever since we got Maverick I just LOVE birds.
There was an injured crow in my neighborhood, so my neighbor (having seen us with our parrot) called me and I ran out, cornered him, toweled him, got him in our carrier and took him to a vet that rehabs injured wild birds. Poor little crow was super calm, almost like he understood he was being taken care of! Didn't even fight the vet when they examined him.
I was stressed about interviewing the other day for a HUGE job opportunity and there were birds outside the window sitting in a bush all poofed up together trying to stay warm and away from the snow. They were SO FUNNY to watch.
Today, I was walking the perimeter of my house. We have a blueberry bush that NEVER has berries on it because the little birds/squirrels are so much quicker than me at finding them. We tried putting a net around it to preserve the fruits. Well, I tore it off today because I found a little bird (not sure species) trapped in the net! He had somehow gotten in and panicked and couldn't find his way out! So I yanked off my fleece sweater, grabbed him, and untangled his tiny little toes and he took off.
Sorry for the rant!
Just wanted to vent about how darn cute birds are, and how soft my heart has become to them since building a relationship with Mav.
