Hi there. Long time no see. *waves*
Quick fun story and then I'm off to do more stuff:
Katina was in the ghetto the other day when a lady came running in the room and handed her a box saying only that *they* told her that she would know what to do with it. So she opened here eyes wide and looked inside only to see this:
A baby fricking sparrow! CUTE!
We named him Captain Peep Sparrow and he has been a member of our household for roughly a week. He has gotten bigger every single day since we got him (probably because for a while there he was eating every ten minutes or so for 12 hours out of the day - the glutton!) and we are confident that he will make it. We are also confident that he will never take flight outside which kind of makes me sad, yet glad in a way. It is quite an emotional quandary...
Anyways.
According to the Internet, single baby birds will always imprint on their human foster parents and this familiarity will cause problems if they are released out into the world. The last thing we want, of course, is for little Peep to be harmed because he thinks all humans out there are nice, friendly people - they are certainly not - and so he will be living in our home from now on.
And when I say "from now on"? I really mean 10 to 15 years into the future because that's how long the Internet says the little guy might be with us. Wow!
