Little Bird

Hi,
I found a little bird without feathers under my lemon tree in Arizona, its eyes were not even open.
Since I could not find the nest, I bought some baby bird formula, called authorities, and they told me how to feed the bird.
I ended up feeding it once every twenty minutes, I brought it to work with me, fed it whenever it bobbed its little head with its open mouth.
I had to use a special feeder and insert it carefully to one side of the beak. In a matter of weeks it was fully grown.
I would come home from work and for a short while it allowed me to feed it. Sadly, after a while I saw it less and less, and one day it left me forever.
I loved that little bird.
