Saving a bird

Glen from Central Whangarei

Just a nice story yesterday I was putting my car away into my double garage, it was hot in the garage I reversed in got out of the car and saw a baby thrush at the rear window of the garage.

So started a ten-minute struggle to try to save the thrush as it flies from window to window, I talked to it good boy I was saying. after ten minutes it flew straight at me.

It landed on my shoulder I walked or hobbled outside the bird stayed on my shoulder I picked it off my shoulder gave it a bowl of water. It drank water and after another ten minutes, it flew off. So good😁
