An Episode of My Life From Evening to the Next Morning..........

Hi Dear Ilites......
Things used to happen in our life everyday......some of which has gr8 impact in our life....others we simply forget the next moment itself......
It just happened to me last evening and I will probably remember it forever in my life. During our usual evening walk, I screamed at one point noticing something very tiny, it made my hubby who was in his dreamland to look at the direction pointed by me.
We both were in awe to look at this tiny little crature who is of my thumb size.......it was a small bird and from its size, we can guess that it must be a week old...it took both of us to think what to do at that point. We just paused for a while and then DH took that bird onto his palm.......and then suddenly the bird started making some noise like......chir.....chir....which is barely audible.
From that time onwards, our mission to keep that little creature started......we brought this new member into our home.....hubby made a cozy living place for him/her........then the question of feeding it arised. Anyways, after a long discussion, we have decided to feed it some milk through a syringe......
It has a very tiny mouth and the flow of milk into his body can be seen through its transparent skin. After some time, we though that he is OK now...
We made a schedule of feeding him after every half an hour and kept him warm with all the coverings etc. I had lots of dreams about him whether he will come back to us after he learn to fly and blah.....blah.........
But DH kept telling me that he needs its mom for proper incubation and for gizzard milk which is full of hormone that helps these little birds to grow.
Finally we went to sleep after midnight with full of dreams for him.
Today, early in the morning, DH woke up, warmed milk for this little creature..fed him but he told me that probably my little birdie has very less time in this earth. It made me sad but I had hope to see him fly.
After reaching office, I called home and DH told me that my little birdie is no more. I felt so sad and this half a day attachment with that little creature was a memorable incident for us.
We had even cancelled our trip next weekend just to take care of this birdie.....alas.....now that birdie episode is closed in our life forever........
Just thought to share this with all my IL frds. Thanks for reading this.
Regards.

Hi Dear Suji, Puni, Latha, Srini, Oviya, Swoparnika and Sundari Ma'am,
Yes, we felt bad.....yesterday after reaching home when I open the fridge, I saw the little milk bottle of the birdie and the syringe kept adjacent to it.......
Anyways, felt happy that we tried at least.....
In fact I had never seen such small bird in my life......so thought to share it with all my ILite frds......
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Regards.

 

yes ma'am, I can feel the pounding of your heart at that sight.....but at least you have tried to rescue it and as per the say......she has that much of life only in this earth.......
Regards.
