"Trying to save innocent animals are just really fulfilling and one of the things that will make your heart happy. :)
Yesterday morning, we saw one of our neighbors trying to get some bamboos in the plant we have here. They were trying to cut some of the bamboos (because they'll be using it for something) and then, while they were doing it, the nest of the birds fell to the ground. :( Because apparently, there a nest in the bamboo plant. My papa heard the little birds going "Tweet .. Tweet .. Tweeet .." Knowing my papa, he's really an animal lover and so do I. So, he told our neighbor,
"What happened? Give me those birds."
And then, our neighbors gave us the birds. When my papa looked at them, he really felt bad about them and wanted to take care of them. There were 4 little birds. They doesn't know how to fly yet. Well, some already knows how to fly but just a little bit. Not really that high yet. And the other 2, they really don't know how to fly yet. It's really not their time to fly yet. They're still not ready.
My papa wanted to make a cage for them and put them there so he'll be able to take care of them. But unfortunately, we do not have the materials to make a cage. So, we decided to just put them in the box and just made some holes.
So, those are the birds. While we have them, my papa really keep on talking to them.
"What am I going to do with you? I want to take care of you but, I know you will still just end up dead here because we have too many cats."
That's what my papa told them. And he continued...
"If we can see your parents looking for you, I will really return you to them because I don't have the means to make you live here."
I could really feel the concern of my papa while he's talking to the birds.
And then, few minutes after, we heard two birds chirping. And we suppose, they are the parents of those little birds because they seem to be searching around the house and while they were chirping, the little birds are chirping too. As if they heard their parents calling them.
So what we did is that, we put the box outside so they will be able to see the little birds and get them. And good thing the parents saw the little birds when we did that. They were trying to go inside the box to see their babies but they seem to be scared.
As you can see in the picture above, one of the parents already jumped to the wire slowly trying to go inside the box. We suppose she's the mother. And we were making stories of them.
And I was like ..
"Pa, maybe that's the mother because you know, mothers would really do everything and anything for their kids even if it would put them in danger themselves. And the other one, maybe that's the papa because fathers will be all like, "Don't go there. We'll just wait for a moment. What if that is a trap? Then all of you will be in danger." But mothers will be all like .. "I don't care for as long as I will be with my kids." "
And my papa just laughed and agreed with me. :D
We felt that they are really having a hard time to go inside the box and maybe they were also just scared because it is near our house. So, we decided to transfer them in the guava tree.
And there, the parents were able to go inside (but it also took them very many tries to be able to go in because they're scared, I guess)
We were just really watching them and trying to figure out how they will be able to get their babies out of the box. They weren't like cats that if their babies will be taken by somebody, they will just bite the neck of the kittens and bring them back to the place where she used to keep them. But, birds can't do that though. :(
So, we just really let them there. And then earlier, we saw there are only 2 little birds left in the box!!!! So, we though the other two who already knows how to fly, maybe their parents already taught them how to fly high and lead them to their new nest. hehe :)
Animals are just really fascinating!!!! :)
