She would be the first for me. I find it easier to let them die than watch the despair of a caged bird.

I felt like her coming to sit with me was the greatest honor of my life.

In the movie tribute to Leonard Cohen "I'm Your Man," Rufus Wainwright, one of the musicians interviewed, described meeting Cohen for the first time. Cohen was nursing a baby bird he had just rescued.

You, Leonard Cohen, saviors of birds. Good company, arfie!

I was reading about a man who made a bond with a crocodile he saved..............when he went to release it to a swamp...the croc followed him back...And they swim together and wrestle and croc never bites him..

while animlas are cared for they secrete oxytocin (bonding hormone).

How wonderful. Thank you.

Hormones in the bio-net still travel faster 'n' bytes in the inter-net.

So this morning a house wren started clinging and climbing frantically on the screen of my living room door. Weird, but... I needed to investigate a noise from the kitchen. There was another wren on the cabinet. He had flown in through a crack in the music room door. I had to widen the crack for him, but helping him find his way out was a gentle smile in my morning.

Love my bio-net! Best connectivity on the planet!

Your house is turning into the Hitchcock birds movie in reverse--rather than a horror movie, a bird paradise!

Not too awful new, in truth. Feeding the little beggars on a regular basis goes a long way.

When I was a kid, I loved Cinderella. Wasn't too impressed with her prince. 5 brothers can put a damper on princely impressions. What blew me away was that this dame had birds and mice doing her chores for her. I am still trying to unlock her secrets.

Yeah, fixing their wing is cool, but the housework/cooking thing, that's why I do stuff like that :)

I think I told you when you first set her free that you may never know the end result, but you could trust it was good. I really like that you got to have a peek at the next phase for her.

little survivor, huh.

sometimes we buck the trends and good juju happens...guess i shouldn't be surprised it also plays out in the animal kingdom.

i love sparrows. they carry a LOT of mythology.

and i love people who love and rescue animals. :)

This is a wonderful story! So glad you shared it!
I raised a couple of baby squirrels one time--their mother had been shot by a hunter and I was lucky enough to find them after they'd left the nest in hunger but before something else found them. I called them Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm . . . I let them loose when they grew up and then Bamm-Bamm would come by and eat apples with me and visit.
It was an honor for me too, even if I knew it was mostly the apples.

Thank you, Love to hear real life stories of Triumph!
