For this week's theme I thought about a little girl discovering a baby bird's nest. I think in a little girl's mind, this would definitely be considered an emergency.
heck! i'm a groan up and i see it as an emergency! just the other day my cat carried a baby bird to me as a gift. It was still alive and i am hoping that it is back with it's mother.
Cool work. I heard the idea that momma birds will avoid a baby bird that a human has touched is a rural myth that moms made up to snowjob their kids. My mom used it on me. Damn her!
..................... And yet, I remember the time one of our students brought a bird's nest to school for show and tell. She also brought it into the nurse's office to show her what she had found. Consequently the classroom and the nurse's office and most of the children had to be treated for teeny tiny bird lice.
I also got and honored the myth about no human touching a bird's nest. Grew up with that one.
Oh, I agree, that would be an emergency for me as well. Hopefully she is not too far from the tree where this little bird fell from, and will be able to bring him back home. Very expressive, and very sweet too.
I agree. A definite emergency to any child... one that makes you take care of a baby bird for days, with little hope. We have managed to release a couple in our time but most never make it.
I have taught for 15 years and have taught Kindergarten for most of that time. I am happily married to my sweet Shanon! Together, we have 4 boys and 1 girl and 1 granddaughter! (Yes, I know I am too young to be a grandmother!) My childhood ambition was to be an artist; now I create little works of art for my Kindergartners who are my biggest fans.

It would be an emergency if the nest had fallen from a tree.
