Well, our sweet neighbor, Anne-Marie, saw that a tiny birdy had fallen out of the nest that the hirondelles (swallows) make every year in her eaves, and she saw it was shivering and so put it in a little box with a towel.
Aunty Lynne, who is her neighbor, (Anne-Marie’s, but also the swallow’s) says that she even put a little hot water bottle in the box when it got colder!
Anne-Marie was afraid the little one would not make it, and she tried to give it a little egg and some melon. But the dropper she was using wouldn’t fit down the little birdy’s gullet. Then the daddy or maman arrived (!) and stood watch over the little one.
And then, lo and behold, one of the parents arrived with a worm for the little cutie pie!
And the birdie sat up on his box today, right on the edge. Must have been a fat worm…
Anne-Marie thinks it is just after he/she has had that nice little surprise dinner brought in
from his parents!
But there are other beaks to feed, too, and perhaps the little one will join them soon…are they cute or WHAT?
So today, I’m a bit out of the picture, but that’s okay with me. Hey do you think they are called swallows because of those anxious little beaks wide open for worms, haha?
We’re happy about this and THANK YOU, Rescurer Anne-Marie.
That is really amazing. Paws off Loulou
Oh, I will not be anywhere near the little cutie as it lives up the street from us.
How amazing that the mama bird found the baby in the box! We have swallows here…they built a nest by the side of our house.
They are fascinating little creatures, so sweet.
How wonderful of your neighbor…..often those little birds just don’t survive of course but this little one was determined and so was its Mom or Dad – hopefully it will fly back up to the nest to be with its’ family.
Sweet!
Hugs, Teddy
It is back with its family and happy as the day is long.
HOW SWEET!!!! Love birdies and we had a nest in ront of our window and 2 little birdies were born! But they flew away. So no more birdwatching. Unless they come back!
Seems to be in the air. You’d think it was spring, not full summer.
Such a good mama bird to find her baby.
Now the little one is up and running! Er…flying.
They really are cuties and I’m glad the parents showed up with dinner!
Yes, the bird world is amazing…
Thanks so furry much for leaving me birthday wishes on Ann and June’s blog! Lou Lou and peeps, you ROCK!
So happy you were BORN!
We’re glad the little swallow seems to be rallying, especially now that the parents know where to feed him !
He she it is so happy to have his health back. And our neighbor is a HEROINE for sure.
