Terry came back from town Friday with a wee little bird stuck to his grill
What a horror! It was still breathing, although, not moving
After removing the tiny sweet little thing, I placed in my horse trough flower bed for safely and (hopefully) healing.
Then, truly not knowing HOW to help the little bird, or even what to do for the little bird, I sent word to the heavens and all those beings with gossamer wings to heal and protect this tiny creature
The first day was spent under the leaves, rustling around; creating little ghostly whispers, whenever I came near.
So far, so good. The wings are starting to be held closer to the body. I haven’t tried to pick the little bird up [yet] incase of internal damage.
When I do I will check it’s little legs and toes.
My prayer is this little one can heal and fly away. Until then I will continue to provide protection, food, and water.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda

I’m still not certain about it’s wing. BUT today it tried to get away from me.

Come on little one, you can rest & heal in good hands for a while. Then it will be time to fly ~

I am hoping it’s wing is NOT broken. Just extremely stretched—then maybe the wing can heal.

So hoping your little bird friend will mend and can fly away.

Speaking of birds, I woke up this morning to strange metal sounds. Something had gotten into our wood stove flue in the den. At first, I thought a squirrel was rummaging around but, then, I heard the flutter of wings. I woke Ken up and he swore that it was impossible for a bird to get in…while said birdie continued to flutter around.
We opened the door, opened flue and put a plastic bag over the opening to try and catch it. I could tell the poor thing was exhausted and I had no idea how long it had been in there before I woke up.

Did you get it out? What kind of bird? Sometimes they get in our chimney pipe

OMG. Half of my comment is missing. I nearly wrote you a book. *sigh* Stupid WP…
He/she rested a bit (it got quiet) then, out it came, right past my bag catch. LOL! It flew around a bit (pooped on the floor), looking for a way out. I opened the kitchen window (it was going from window to window because it could see the outside). Ollie was going nuts, following it around. It finally made it to the kitchen, perched on the sill and flew out. I suspect it headed straight for our backdoor neighbor’s bird bath to wash off. A little brown Carolina Wren looks funny, black.
I was so worried because, until I woke Ken up, I didn’t know how to get it out and, I didn’t want it to suffer and die. He’s hard of hearing so, it took a while before he heard something…and believed me. I giggled for a half hour when it flew out. I love the little Wrens. They tickle the hell out of me.
Ken phoned a chimney-sweep/vent specialist to find out how the little thing got in…and fix any holes. Isaias wasn’t strong enough to do any damage so, I told Ken that it must be age that has caused an opening. We get a visit, tomorrow.

I wish we had Carolina Wrens here…I’ve listened to their songs on the net; they are lovely.

They are so funny to watch. And, you can tell when one is upset…oh my, the racket. LOL!. We have to make sure we keep our porch mailbox closed or they will nest in it. I’ve caught them nesting in my wreaths on the door.
Their shape reminds me of marshmallow peeps. LOL!

They sound like fun little birds who are NOT afraid of humans. 🙂

They are.
They keep their distance. They are quick but, they will get somewhat close and bark at you (it does sound like little barks). These are mad at a chipmunk, LOL:

I think I saw it yesterday…he /she is still having a hard time flying, BUT not like it did. The little bird was in the cornfield…so the wing is getting stronger.

The only trouble is it is a injured bird, so if it can survive long I will be surprised.
