Oh, my gosh! Do you know what happened today? Well, first of all, we have these three baby robins in a nest on our back porch. They've been a bit squirmy because they don't have
quite enough room in their nest. Well, this morning, Mama and I went to let Lacy out, and
there was a baby robin on the ground!! So Mama picked it up (she thought it was dead at first, but then it opened its mouth, and we knew it wasn't), and then she gave it to me, and then I sat down on one of our adorondack chairs and held it, while Mama tried to find a worm to feed it (unseccessfully). Then she went inside, and researched if you can put a baby bird back in its nest. You can, and we did.
Here is a picture of me holding it (its cute because its resting its head on my thumb like its in its nest):
Yes, I know, I'm in my pajamas in this picture, but what do I care? I got to hold a baby bird! What's cooler than that?
As a side note, if you couldn't tell, the old wives-tale about parent-birds smelling your scent and ditching their kids is NOT true. (Birds don't smell very well!)

That is so incredibly cool that you got to hold it and see the baby up close!!! I'm glad you and your mom found it before Lacy did.
How wonderful that you two found the baby bird in time to save it's life. God is so good to look over us and look over His little baby bird. What a neat experience for you to get to hold and to help this wee one.
Hugs, Grammy Lura
