Baby Bird

I was sitting eating my lunch today and I saw something fall from the sky just outside my window. I went out and found this poor little fellow with its head wedged inbetween the slats of my bench. I sat for a while with it in my hand to see if it would try to take off again, but it just sat there all dazed and droopy eyed. I just wanted to cry. It might only be a little bird but its someones baby and that just brings out the mommy in me.
It is now sitting in my garage in a shoe box, waiting for Emily to wake up so that I can take it to the vets (as advised by the USPCA - who I have to say were not as helpful or nice as I thought they would be). There was no way I was going to leave it sitting around waiting to be eaten by the many cats that patrol our street. I can't wait to see Em's face when she sees it.
