Hi all!! I know it's been a while, sorry about that. With summer here we're doing the car show/racing things a couple times a week and I was going to the gym every day(though money's low for a while so I'm having to cut that out for just a bit) plus we've been doin' a few CHEAP mini vacations here and there - no big ones this year - again, money's low...we're trying to pay extra on the house and cars for a while to try to pay them off faster. I can't imagine what it would be like to not have a car payment or house payment each month, that'd be AWESOME!! Also I've been real busy painting and wall papering and putting down new floors etc. Anyway - it's like 2:00 am here and I can't sleep at all. About an hour ago I was in the living room on the couch with the dogs watching cartoons (yep - I still LOVE cartoons!!) when I heard a bird chirping. Now I hear birds chirping all the time but this was like an hour ago and I know it's awful late for birds. Plus it was sooo close I thought it had to be on the porch. I just knew it was one of the cats killing another bird (we've had 2 mice, one mole and 3 birds left on our porch the last 3 days). I rushed to the door to find one of my girls with two baby birds in her mouth. As soon as she saw me she knew she was in trouble so she dropped them and ran in the house. One was already dead but the other is actually in real good shape. I have no clue where they come from or I would put it back in it's nest but I'm also afraid she'll find it again so right now it's in a box in the garage. It's so cute and it's only about the size of a golf ball. I think it's asleep now but I'll try to get pics of it if it's still okay tomorrow. (I know - I'm also supposed to be getting ya'll pics of our not-so-new anymore pit-puppy cisco too, who by the way is growing like a weed and is sharp as a tack!! Already takes good baths and lets me clip his toenails and brush his teeth and coat and is potty trained and knows to sit and kiss and was 11 weeks old on saturday and is 15 lbs...anyway back to the subject...) The bird can't be more than a week or so old, 3 at the most. I have no clue what to feed it or how and i-be-darned if I'm going to chew worms and spit them out to feed it (although as much as I'd hate to I'd probably find some and crush them if I had to). A guy that I work with's wife works as a wildlife rehabilitator and takes in all kinds of wild animals to care for (they have a stray emu now-very funny long story). I know they'd take it but I won't see him agian until Tuesday and I have no clue how to get a hold of them until I see him then - their # is unlisted and I don't think it'd live without food or water that long - even if it could I'd hate to make it do that. Does anyone know what to feed it or how? Right now I have some crushed up (powdered) bird feed mixed with water to a paste for it but I'm afraid to feed it that, it's digestive system must be so delicate right now I know that can't be good for it. I'm going to do some research as soon as I post this to see if I can find what type it is and how to feed it but I know ya'll know tons about everything so I was hoping that someone else who may know was having trouble sleeping too and might happen to be on here. Anyone out there?? Ya'll have any ideas on the subject?? Any and all help would be most appreciated!!
