bird story

Just read Hillbille ..a little bird, post. It reminded me of a bird happening from last spring. I was washing breakfast dishes looking out the kitchen window. Doing my best impression of Gladys Krivitz(from Bewitched). Anyway...I saw about eight or nine birds flying around in my neighbors front yard. They seemed to be attacking a big crow or raven. On my toes now not wanting to miss anything. This crow swooped down and picked up a baby bird and was trying to fly off with it. Being tender hearted I ran out the door and across the street. The other birds were Mocking Birds and Blue Jays, and they normally don't care for each other. Both types of birds were working together to scare away the crow. When I got over to the scene, I thought what the heck I'm tired of this. I picked up the baby Mocking Bird saw it was missing feathers but looked ok. All the birds stopped flying around to rest, or were hatching a plan to get me. I smoothed the little birds feathers and placed him in a hedge bush for shelter. Leaving, all the birds started flying around and chased the crow away. In my mind, I hope the little bird found its mom, and lived to fly away. Whoa...I need to take off my apron.[:)]
