Natural selection at it's cruelest. Strange knowledge. I've tried to save so many baby birds at this point that it's heartbreaking. One, even, without fully developed eyes. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving it outside for the cats~struggling to breath without even any feathers. I cried much over that little bird and it's mother's heart. <br />But a quick death is much better than a long drawn out painful death. I watched the baby bird gasp and struggle for three days under a heat lamp unwilling to eat any of my internet-found baby bird concoctions from a syrienge. It was a nasty lesson in life. Especially seeing it's little heart beat and beat and beat beneath it's delicate yellowish skin and nothing could be done.~h~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05341133302838419536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-50747125957456774482009-08-23T18:58:13.558-05:002009-08-23T18:58:13.558-05:00Yeesh.
