Intervening in these events is not wrong, I think. Natural selection exists, but you are a sensitive human and it does your mind and heart good to give the bird another chance.

Likewise you have given the stray cat a chance and look how well they get along. It all comes down to love... and a good job taming the cat, hahaha, 😜 I tell you from experience because here at home a stray arrived and it has cost me but now I have it half tamed. And that's because I don't have much skill with cats. I am mostly a dog person.

I love all these pics.
