I am a new mother once more .. but just for a little while! Friday night there was a big wind storm where I live in Utah. A nest of 4 baby Robins flew out of our tree, destroying the nest and killing 3 of the 4 babes! One remained alive and we found him Saturday morning! He has endured such a rough ride so far.. 1 night of exposure and no more mommy or siblings to take care of him.
I took him in and made a few calls to see what or whom I could leave him with! Saturday turned up no one willing to house just one more bird! So I'm feeding the poor dear and housing him down in my basement with the necessities to help keep him alive!
I said a prayer for him to eat on Saturday when I found him and come Sunday he ended up doing quite well, having eaten so much and chirping at us, though last night he became lethargic again! I feel bad because I am stuck here at work while my relatives watch over him, but thank Heavenly Father that I am able to use the WWW here and look more into my options. I came across our Tracy Aviary this morning in my search and was given a number to a wildlife volunteer rehabilitator! She called me back just a little while ago and has agreed to meet me half-way to come pick up this little darling Robin later on tonight!!
It is amazing to me what I was told to feed it.. Saturday I was told babyfood, while today, both the aviary and this lady tell me moistened cat food! Luckily I have a cat!! So I called the troops and told them to feed him more often (every 45 minutes) with the cat food, and put him under a lamp to keep him at 90 degrees! I'm going home on lunch to spend time with my little bird friend and give him one more prayer that he may make it and live to be strong and healthy! I feel so sad for this one poor little bird, but I know he's being looked out for what is best for him!
Please keep him in your prayers too! Thanks for listening you guys!
