Yesterday's excitement...

Yesterday when we left the pool AJ found this tiny bird in a bush. He was obviously too young to be on his own, but we couldn't see a nest anywhere. We picked it right up and took it home. We obviously didn't have anything to feed it, so I mixed up a sugar solution and we fed it with a dropper. It drank quite a bit, and we left it on a towel in the garage (because it was very warm in there.) We headed off to the pet store to get some worms and stopped at Chick-fil-A for dinner, and low and behold, Tuesdays are family night,


and there was a guy there making balloon hats for all the kids. So they loved that!
Anyway we got home and apparently the sugar water had worked because the bird was flying around, although not very well. He obviously thought he was a better flier that he is, and flew from his nest. So we have been feeding him worms and he has perked right up. He cheeps so much I had to but him in the closet last night so we could sleep! I don't think we will have to keep him too long. We'll keep you posted. He's lucky AJ is such an observant little kid, I never would have seen him in that bush.
