A Bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in a bush!!!

On Sunday, while I was feeding Emilia, Armando and Giovanni come barrelling into the house saying: "Look Mom a bird!".. I looked at them and there Armando was holding a baby bird. I thought.. Great.. just great... bugs.... but then I said.. Okay... Lets find it's mama. The poor lil thing hurt it's wing falling out of the tree and you can tell it was dazed a bit, but after awhile it started getting restless and looking up to the trees. I called a wildlife rescue and they said to leave it be for an hour and it's mama will find it. But baby birds fall out of trees and are on the ground for up to 2 weeks before it can fly... I thought.. I don't have 2 weeks to baby this baby.. I have Emilia! But.. Sure enough.. mama came to the rescue within a half an hour and was coaxing the chick to some brush.
Before the "release" I took some pics.


Whoever said that life was dull and boring obviously did not have children!!!
