My Baby Bird

by Jesse

We are having all our guttering replaced due to bird nest problems.

We waited until summer before we started taking away the guttering so all the baby birds would have gone.

Well, one day the builder came to me with part of a birds nest, inside the nest was a baby bird just a few days old.

The builder had pulled the nest out of the guttering where he had found it.

I am an animal lover so I couldn't say no to looking after it and it was way to young to be sent to wirers.

I put the nest on a hot water bottle (I made sure that it didn't get too hot for the bird.) and went outside to find some worms.

Never in my life have I thought that I would be mushing up worms for a bird. It was pretty gross but i did it.

I put the mushed worm down the throat of the bird. It ate it with glee since it hadn't eaten for a day or so.

I am really worried for the bird because it hasn't opened its eyes yet and when it does it will see me and think that I will be its family.

It will be really hard for the bird and me because the bird won't be like a normail bird and I will have to keep looking after a bird that should be free but won't survive in the wild.

So far I am just praying for everything to turn out alright but I really don't know what I'll do.
