Early this morning about 5.00am the dogs were totaly interested in something in the garden but I couldn't see what and thought no more of it.
When I took them out later in the morning, I saw a baby bird a starling or a blackbird (def a baby but a little bigger than a sparrow) soaking wet and crouching down.
Came back still there.:?
Later went to the vets he was still there, when I came back he was still there so have moved an old bird box onto the ground near him and put some seed down.
Now almost 6 hourslater he has moved to up by the house - Lord knows why maybe does not realise two crazy Staffs will at the least - scare him to death. He calls almost in panic when you go near him.
I wonder if the storms have caught him un awares or if a predator of some sort has had him and he's here by accident.
Anyhow now have two cardboard boxes turned on their side, an old bird house and at least 3 turned on their side flower pots round the garden for him to shelter in. And what has he chosen :roll: the sour cream tub I use to take the bird food to the table in, I must have left it outside its blown down by the bird bath and he's in that. Oh well hope he is a fighter....
Fingers crossed. Karen
