Baby Noisy Minor Bird
As I was wandering back from the stables early one evening,
I noticed this flapping going on in the horse's drinking water.
On closer investigation it was this baby, Noisy Minor Bird,
drowning and unable to get out. Panic stations! I fished him
out, wrapped him in a towel and raced him to the house.
Once inside I placed him, snuggly wrapped up into the cat
carry cage. His little heart was racing…and I might add so was
mine. I kept him warm and later when he had dried off and
was looking as though he was much calmer, I opened the cage,
he stayed for a while and then happily flew off. Free once more.
He looks a little worse for wear,
but he's alive and drying out.
Almost back to
normal. He's sitting
on the lid of the cat
cage contemplating
whether he should
stay or go.
