    Before my father died many years ago, people from all around used to bring him injured and abandoned birds, he was famous locally for it; he built shelters all over the house and garden and nursed dozens and dozens of birds back to health.
    Many refused to leave and some migratory species we released would visit us every summer when they returned for years after we released them. The affinity my father had with these birds was incredible, they seemed to instantly see him as one of their own

      Thank you for the kind comments. I have wonderful memories of my father digging up worms in the garden with our Rook called Rocky impatiently waiting on his shoulder.
      He taught him to fly shortly afterwards and released him to a rookery near our home, we would often walk there in the years proceeding and Rocky would spot us and come say hello

    I, too, raised a baby sparrow that had fallen with a destroyed nest during a storm. It had no feathers; I did the best I could and it bonded with us to the point it would not leave. Short story, it lived inside during winter--open cage--and outside during summer, again open cage. She would sing so beautifully; she lived 5 years--we sure missed her when she passed. To us, she was beautiful!!

      Animals are souls too. Like us, they have thousands of lives. In heaven they are looked after by a spiritual master named Prajapati’til it’s time to reincarnate. Often they go back to the same person or family. They change species as well. Even Buddha recalled lives as various animals. Sing HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU to remember who u are as soul. The HU is on many YT channels & the one w/ the quotes is great.

    We have a sparrow who is 14 yrs old now. We saved her when she fell out of a nest as a featherless newborn. At the time we did not realize her wing and foot were damaged so as she grew up she didnt fly well. She has been a wonderful pet and has gone camping and walking with us also, riding on our shoulders or heads.💞

The truth is that there is evil in this world and people do bad things to each other and to other living things, but there are also wonderful people with tremendous love in their hearts.

      Problem is most people do not learn squat from nature. but for some like this couple there are exceptions. We have a pet raccoon. Got him since he was a few days old we carried him around in our shirt pocket! Now 2 years later? yeah he "owns" the place. goes boarding in the Atlantic, climbs trees, he's everywhere. but he NEVER leaves our property. He has a huge cage in one of our rooms and no sense in locking it because he can open it from the inside as fast as we can open it from the outside so we just leave the door open (but HE sometimes closes AND locks it!). That's his "home" and where he sleeps (mostly in the day as they're pretty much nocturnal). They're neat as hell. When you give him something to eat he takes it with his "hands" and eats from there. you don't give it to him by mouth like a dog or cat he won't take it that way. He loves the water and has absolutely NO odor cleaner than a cat and "potty trained" himself at 4 weeks. and only does his business in the same place if he's indoors.. a spot in his cage. They eat just about anything even tobacco!

    I love birds, basically all animals! Before having my dogs, I started caring for budgies & a hamster. Then after my tiny babies perished from old age, that's when I gradually transitioned to my small breed dogs. As much as I loved caring for my precious budgies & hamster, I didn't want to continue getting more afterwards because it's too heartbreaking when they die. Small birds & hamsters have a very short lifespan and my heart can't take the sorrow of losing them because their lifespan only averages 2-5 years. And most times, when they get sick, not much can be done to help them, even by a specialized vet. But when I see videos like Chibi, it melts my heart every time because it brings back so many fond memories & how much I truly miss & still love my babies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I found a baby sparrow when I was a young boy and experienced much of this. It grew up healthy and was so incredibly tame. Amazing birds.

    Such a sweet and amazing story. 😌
    When a wild animal adopts and accepts you, it's really something to be humbled by.
