A defenseless creature left for dead...was I wrong to rescue it? HAPPY FINAL UPDATE PAGE 6!

Almost everyone thinks it's a caterpillar at first.

:)

yay op! here's a little Cherokee Morning Song for you.
there are 2 translations for it. both beautiful i think.
the one i learned as a kid goes:

in the morning
birds are singing
and they sing and they sing
oh oh
heyo heyo heyo
yah yah yah

if someone could embed for me i'd appreiciate it.

I didn't see this, congratulations and GREAT job following your intuition and doing the right thing! You probably just saved it's life. I wouldn't be shocked if it says hi someday as you're walking in the parking lot :) Good on you, my friend.
What a beautiful happy ending!!!

The one last thing to do is to place some water outside, within easy reach of the parent birds, but not where the little guy could get access and fall in. The parrents will do the rest. I only say this because he was dehydrated when you found him, and now he's back out there. I hope the night temps don't get too cold there, he's at an age where he'd still be in the nest for at least another week, possibly two (he won't survive a cold night on his own).

Keep us posted if you lay eyes on him again.

Brilliant outcome, OP! Kudos to you for saving this baby.

Op you are most awsome. A couple of years ago my son saved a fallen baby bird. Gave it cat food and water for a few days. He then found a bird rehabilator a couple of hours away in the Poconos (for the PA people here). The bird greatly improved in those few days. He called up the woman a couple of weeks later and she said the bird was doing great. Being back with his parents is even better.
I needed a feel-good story today.

What a great read! Yup, restores your faith in humanity a bit.

I've been watching this site for a couple of months now and nothing I've read on this site so far has made me want to register and join a discussion up until yours sir!

As an animal lover (from birth I would say), this story just filled me with all kinds of different emotions, but I'm glad the last are of peace and joy.

Job well done, you did very well. God is pleased with you. And I'm glad to be sharing this earth with someone like you and to all the other loving people of this thread.

God bless you all and much love to everyone.

The best possible outcome! I hope you feel good about yourself, OP, because what you've done has restored my faith.

Now imagine if we all could be this way. what a wonderful world this would be!

Very god OP :)

It's ok to be homeless and dying in the streets but a stupid little bird must be saved.

You Americans.

Yeah right.

Got a bridge for sale too? What a load of balony.

OP, it died in your care and you're too ashamed to admit it. It's perfectly fine because raising a solitary baby bird is difficult. Even if it's parents had stuck around long enough to find it, the baby is weeks away from being able to fly. It will never make it without the protection of a nest. At least now the bird isn't going to die in vain, I'm sure some feral cat will really savor his flavor.

We help our people too. It's called taxes and charity. We just don't boast about or need a pat on the back. And some of those people you speak of don't want help.

Douchebags will be anonymous.


Pussy.

Kudos OP.

I have learned.....in my years......that if you set people up correctly......given the chance......human beings can do some very unselfish, kind and caring things.

One day you will make someone a great partner.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

The the poster who is a horse's behind:

Here is a little bird song for you:
If I was as high as a bird in the sky
I would look down on you and go
Blehch

I think God sees and knows how we treat all creatures.

Putin shouldn't look sad, he showed us he's very fond of tits, titties, blue tits, titty birds & tweety birds. He'd look so happy if a loada titties flew up to him...

Nice work OP!

Good karma on your way!!

the little baby is right back where he started before his rescue, and probably by morning will be in the same condition as was his sibling when they were found together (dying and finally dead).

the baby bird cannot get up into the tree to safety, because he is too young, so, through the night, a cat, snake, blackbird, which is what probably threw him out of his nest in the first place, dog, rat, kid, car will take care of him now, because, at night, his parents cannot.

At the crack of dawn, if he made it through the night, if he makes a sound or moves, the blackbird will have him; ripe him to shreds and feed him to her babies.

The parents may try to fight off the blackbird, but we know what happened to the sibling during that first fight.

I wouldhave tucked the baby behind my bra, between my breast, for the night, where he would be safe, and let him have time with his parents during the day, for however many days it took, until he could fly up into a tree.

I just dropped a tear on the keyboard.

Good luck with the parenting! This really melts my heart. It gives me hope for humanity.

a parrot that was hand raised.

every Spring this is what i see in the tree tops

these huge blackbirds called "CROWS"

stealing baby birds and the parents screaming and flying around trying to save their babies.

It makes me so mad i want to shotgun the Crows of the face of this Earth:

why did it leave home in the first place

They never do that

I knew something like this might come up...
Well, I do not believe I ever stated that his nest was in a tree. All I said was I found them in a parking lot at my office.

When I released him to his parents I watched his progress for about 45 minutes. He hopped into a bunch of bushes, and began hopping his way up the branches towards his parents. This bird was not injured at all, and appeared to be very close to gaining the ability to fly. So his progress was fairly quick. I left him after I saw him safely with his parents, and eating.

I actually went back out to that spot several hours later to make sure everything was ok, It turns out his nest was in the bushes he had rendezvoused with his parents at.

So, no, the little baby is not right back where he started. I did EVERYTHING I possibly could have to assure his survival, both when he was with me, and when i released him.

I was able to successfully feed him berries, as several posters recommended. I made sure to keep him warm at night by placing him in a large cardboard box padded with cloth towels, a little water, food and I even went out of my way to find an old, abandoned birds nest under my deck (i checked for bugs, or anything that could have hurt him) for him to sleep in.

He survived the night and was very energetic and healthy in the morning.

I took this birds life as serious as I would my own. And I intend to check up on him tomorrow.

This bird has been met with a terrible death now that it has been left on the ground.

you should make a great effort ! ! !

this beautiful little bird isworth saving

just look at what you almost have:
