Hey CD, sorry to hear about the little fellow that died in your hands. But as you said he died with love and care. Since I have Max my view has change a lot the way I look at birds, I use to look at them and that was that. But since I have Max we feed the wild birds outside and I look at the birds in a different way. They are so unique the way they fly and balance etc. They are wonderful creatures, I maybe would have done the same if I saw a little birdie lying in the sun on a piece of cement. It is just sad that the little fellow did not make it.
