Birds



We had a bird build a next in a tree in our front yard.  The problem is, it was so low and slanted that a baby bird fell out.  Our neighbor was on a walk with his dog and didn't want the dog to eat the bird.  So he hurried and scooped it up and put it back in the nest.  The next day the bird was back on the ground.  We think the mommy bird pushed it out because a human had touched it.  Sadly it died and so we buried it right there at the base of the tree.  We were worried that another bird would fall out or a dog would jump up and eat the other birds right from the next since it was so low.  But finally the birds grew big enough to fly away.  Such a fun and sad thing for my kids to experience!
