Rescuing a baby bird.


Well, we've had quite the day. It rained all day long, which was unfortunate because it meant that we couldn't see much of the Ottawa Air Show, which is taking place directly above our house. One bit of excitement though- we found a baby bird in the backyard. Ok, really our cat Mugs found a baby bird in our backyard. But the most important part is that we saved the bird before Mugs got too curious. We did some research online and found a local bird shelter that cares for sick and injured birds, and we will be bringing our little friend there in the morning. In the meantime, we have to feed it and give it water hourly. We are almost positive that it's a starling... and apparently baby starlings eat Whiska's canned catfood. This one loves it, so we're sticking with that for now.

Stay tuned...
