Definition of a Dilemma

Kitties,
We had a dilemma here today.


Mommy & Daddy came home from the Dentist this afternoon (good checkups for both) and their neighbor came over with this:







And wondered if they knew what to do! Well, WE know what we would have done, but NO! Mommy has a co-worker whose wife rehabilitates birds, and Daddy said: "You should call Crystal". So Mommy did! And Crystal said she'd be right over.





Mommy didn't want the little birdy to get cold, so she held on to it for the half-hour it took for Crystal to get there. And Kitties, did she wait in the house and let us examine the birdy? She did NOT! She sat on a bucket of paint in the garage, waiting, totally out of range.





Crystal thinks the little baby birdy might be a Mockingbird, but she's not 100% sure about that. She'll call Mommy this weekend and let her know how it's going...and if he doesn't make it, at least he'll ease into the next life warm, hydrated, fed and loved.

But we still would have liked to met him...smelling Mommy's hands afterwards wasn't nearly close enough!

  1. We are so glad you dozen of cats didn't hurt that little baby bird. We get to go outside so we do catch birds every now and again and it makes Mom very sad. Hope the little birdie made it.

  6. Wow! We have never seen such a tiny little bird. We hope it will grow big and strong so that it will be able to fly around and tease kitties again one day.

  7. We're sure you would have liked to have "met" the baby bird--we would have too!--but our human is glad you didn't. And also glad he'll be taken care of until he either flourishes or crosses over. Well done to your mom and to Crystal!

  9. We had an egg in our woodstove so I guess that's what it would have turned into. Very interesting.

    Your Mom is great for taking care of it and making sure it gets the best help!!!


    Purrs to you all for being good kitties.

  11. Hm..... we think temptation might have been a tad strong on this one. And we're very glad that the bebeh is with someone who can take care of her/him. At least our the Mom is. :)

  14. I am not sure if that was nice of your mom or not. I mean it was very nice for the baby bird but you know? For you guys?! How frustrating.

  15. You have so much self-control! But maybe if the birdie gets fatter it'll be more tasty ? Paws crossed it does okay. x

  16. What a sweet little bird! We hope he survives and your mommy didn't want you to do what cats do best...have a snack.

  17. You did well not to pounce on that poor baby bird - it's probably good that your Mom sat in the garage waiting for her friend to come and collect him. Hope you got treats afterwards for being good kitties.

  21. Your mommy must be on to you that's why she held onto the birdie. But we don't blame you for being curious about it. That was nice of your mom to call Crystal to come get the birdie.

  22. Awww that baby birdie is missing his Momma!
    Your Momma was really kind to put this baby in the care of someone who knows how to be a birdie Momma. We hope that baby bird makes it...

  31. Aw,poor baby bird. Mommy raised a few baby birds with the help of her DAD who was a Fireman and brought home many animals from storms or area fires. We hope that baby bird survives.....purrz=^Y^=

  32. We hope the baby bird survives. And the words:

    "and if he doesn't make it, at least he'll ease into the next life warm, hydrated, fed and loved"

    brought us great comfort and a warm feeling in our hearts. Because all we can do is give creatures a chance, help them and hope for the best. Then Nature decides. Tell yoou mom thank you.

  33. I'm so torn here, I was rooting for him till I heard Mocking Bird. I don't care for the Mockers, but I do hope he makes it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. We hope he makes it!
    Glad you knew someone who could take him in and take care of him right!

  35. Oh noes, we hope the little birdie lives!
    We have been finding half eaten eggs in our yard lately. And yesterday mom found a cardinal's bird nest in a rosebush, with 4 eggs in it! We will watch it carefully for fevvers.
