Ahh it's so cold and rainy here...
Blitzy is asleep right next to me and Curly is asleep on the floor...Joshy is in the other room also knocked out! These kids can SLEEP! Not so much Blitzy but the other two...hahaha
So...let me tell you about the events of the past few days...
There is a pair of swallows living under our front porch! They took over a wasp hive and killed all the wasps! Now this is the second time they had babies, okay? The babies have just grown feathers and wings but are still babies...
So, the other day, when we weren't paying attention to Blitzy, she caught one of the babies!!!
We think that she may have fallen out of the nest? 'Cause it's wayyy too high for Blitzy to jump up.
Anyway this poor little baby was screaming for help! It was too sad and also like I said before, Blitz doesn't know how to kill her prey, so she just leaves them...
Caleb (my brother) picked up this delicate little creature and we took her inside to nurse her! I named her Twinkle because she had these twinkly little eyes...
As Caleb was inside, I saw that her parents were trying to find her...shame...we wanted to give her back to them but I read that once the parents get the scent of other animals or of humans, they abandon that baby. So, we couldn't do that.
We tried to feed her but she was too bewildered. We made a comfy little bed and left her some food, water and some insects to eat. By the end of the night, little Twinkle seemed so much better!! She was running around in her little box and crying for attention! She was too sweet and she loved Caleb the most because he rescued her and so she only fell asleep in his hands! Too precious...that night we left her comfy and warm and said goodnight...
Sadly she didn't make it through the night...we all cried...she must have had internal injuries.
We buried her outside our window...too be close to us...to Caleb...
Ahh finally, photo's are uploading!
We miss her dearly and I must admit that I did shed a tear or two, trying to type this...
We may have only known her for a day but she will always have place in our hearts...forever...
Thank you
