We were amazed by how the bird was acting. Then Tiah pointed out that the Snow White beauty had a blue tag around its angle. While it was freaking out about seeing humans, Tiah went inside and notified my parents that there was a bird outside. Meanwhile, I was supervising it and realized that its wing was injured beacuse of its inibility to spread its wings all the way open. My mom brought out 2 small bowls one filled with water and the other with birdseed.
The bird was very scared about the bowls and us coming up close to her.Finally, we set them down in the dirt but, even then she wouldn't touch them. I was wondering what to do since the Aark is closed on Sundays. My mom brought out some rose gloves for me to pick up the bird and put her in the garage. It was hard because the bird was hiding in the smallest places possible.
Then, out she came and I saw my chance to pick her up. I had gotten one side when she did this 'groovy' disco move and spun out of my reach right into the rose bushes!! Oh no!!! I felt like I wanted to cry and I could tell that Tiah felt the same way because she burst out in tears. We didn't want the poor little bird to get injured even more than it already was. My mom said that she could handle it, so I gave her the rose gloves and she picked it up.
Then we put the fluffy little bird in the garage and set up a bed made out of a sideways recycling bin, a blanket, leaves, moss, and some fluffy spearmint leaves for extra comfort. But, the bird found a much more 'comfortable' place standing on a fallen down ladder and under a long piece of wood. We didn't know what to do about the bird being in our very own garage, so my mom called for Chloe's dad who is a veterinarian. He said that the bird didn't look wild. We had to take it to the aark sooner or later, so I begged my mom to take us out of school at math time. She said no, but we might have to take her on Tuesday and not tomorrow.
