The Baby Bird

As we are getting ready to go church Mike finds a baby bird that has fallen out of its nest, the nest is way to high to put the baby back in it. The girls are worried but we are running late as usually and really need to get to church. Meanwhile 4 hours later we arrive home and the baby bird is still a live and Mike being the great person he is wants to help the baby bird so he, Ashley, and Kylie start digging up worms and stuff to feed the baby bird. But the ground here is not so easy to work with and Ashley tells Mike that Walmart sells worms and thinks they need to go and get some. Well, we can't let the baby bird die can we. So off to get worms to feed the baby bird.

I was surprised that Ashley took such an interest in feeding the bird when she would get home from school she would cut up the worms and feed the bird. Getting her hand extremely dirty. My very clean little girl. After two nights and three days of feeding the baby bird, the girls wake-up to the baby bird being gone. They think the mother bird came and moved her baby so that it would be safe. We think that is a great ending to our baby bird story.
