Our Baby Spaz

The reason the title name is "Our baby Spaz" is becausemy friend cassie and I were out in my front-yard when we saw a baby bird just sitting in our little shrubs.

It looked fine and uninjured but it kept chirping smally. Now this is no ordinary baby bird. This is a about a 4 month old baby bird.

I went to get some gloves on and to hold it and got my mom. She told me to get a dropper and to put water in the dropper and feed it.

Well I couldn't hold it and feed it at the same time, so i put it down, then it ran to cassie and pecked her toe(haha) then I picked it back up gave cassie the dropper and I held it and she fed it.

I made a little home for the Baby Spaz(the thing kept chirping and jumping. thats why its name is Spaz) using a big white lid container placed on the ground and filled the lid with grass and sticks so it wouldn't fall into the grass and runaway but it didnt want to stay there in the lid.

It wanted to be in my hand and in the glove so it could me comfy and warm. So I put Spaz down in the lid and he got mad.

I slid the glove off and put him in it and he jumped out and ran into my other glove hand. so I put him back in there and quickly slid the other glove off and put the glove over him like a blanket and he could also poke his little head out and chirp for mommy and daddy.

So now he is in the front yard sleeping. I check on him often and he is still alive and well.
