Bird rescue

My project is dragging on (now estimated to end mid-July). Too bad I'm not getting paid by the hour. Meanwhile, our house and car have both voiced their demands for very expensive fixes (so it's good to have extra work).

In the middle of the insanity, we had a welcome break. It's little things like this that help regain our focus. Read on...

Mama and Papa had been building our house for a while, they say, before we hatched. They found this land, real cheeeep, in a fancy 'hood. Me and my sibs thought it was a little shaky, 'specially after we had been bouncing around for a while. A few times, we woke up in the morning and found we had moved over a bit...not sure how that happened.

Then one night, there was a big storm...lots of boom-booms and scary light. Our house came crashing down, and it scared the poop out of us. Sadly, one of my sibs didn't make it....we never saw him again.

Then this great big monster came along and scooped us up. He dumped us into this new, trailer-trash house. Mama wasn't real sure about it at first (kept grumbling about FEMA), but then she and Papa said it was okay, and it would have to do. Once in a while, we take a dive off the edge, and the great big monster will scoop us up again. Somehow, we end up back home.


If that wasn't enough, the great big monster came by again with a big shiny thing that made a bright light. Fortunately, I was able to hide.

I wonder when we get outta here?

Love baby birds and their nests...we have three outside our house, which my husband keeps a close eye on.

This was very fun to read; the basket was a great upgrade to the birds' former condo.
