Mr. Birdie

Our family poodle, Bailey (a.k.a. Lil Bails, that's her rapper name) tends to go missing. Sometimes for hours. She'll find a squirrel, and chase it endlessly around the neighbourhood, until someone finally finds her and brings her home. 

This time, Allison found her at the neighbour's house, fixated and drooling on this poor lil guy: 

He wasn't hurt thankfully! Just a little scared. Poor thing fell out of his mommy's nest. So Allison scooped him up, and brought him home. 

We looked him up online, and found out that he's a Cedar Waxwing baby (or so we think). We wanted to bring him back to his momma, but decided to feed him a bit first just in case. 

*Not sure if "he's" actually a boy, Allison was just going off her motherly instincts...lolz*

We crushed up some cherries and mixed it with dog food for protein. He luved it! Gobbled it all up. Nom nom nom. 

Bailey was hungry too, but not for her dog food. Bad girl. 

Finally it was time to say goodbye, so Allison put him back outside in a tree close to where she found him. 

She checked on him a couple hours later, and he was gone :( 
Hopefully his momma found him. 
Aurevoir little dude!
