A BEAUTIFUL STARTING OF THE DAY!

             Some days before when I got up in the morning, papa told me that a small and cute bird was born on the roof top of our neighbour’s house. It had fallen down in our garden from their roof top. It was black and grey in colour and had small eyes. I’m not able to explain about its small wings and tall feet. It was so cute. It had a melodious voice.

              Papa put it in a red tub as the dogs were chasing it and the bird could not go anywhere from the tub. In the tub we also kept a small bowl filled with water. I brought a small spoon from the kitchen and gave it water in the spoon. The way it was sipping water from the spoon was really very sweet. I was very happy to take care of it. I was giving it water after every half an hour. Then after some time when I went to give it water I saw that it was not there. Then my neighbour told me that they have kept the bird in its nest with its parents. I was happy that it was with its parents.

             This was a beautiful starting of the day!

             The day went by and it was night. We had our dinner and slept. The next morning when I got up, papa told me that the bird has fallen again from its net and because the dogs were chasing it, papa kept it in the tub. I took care of the bird. I crushed some suji and gave it with water. I gave the bird water time to time. I was so busy admiring and taking care of it that I didn’t study the whole day and just sat beside the bird. In the afternoon, I brought 1 small spoon of milk from the kitchen and gave it to the bird. The bird drank the milk. Although it was eating and drinking but it was missing its mother a lot. It was constantly chirping and calling its mother. After some time, I went inside and after 5 minutes I saw that its mother was standing beside the tub and talking to the small bird. But, the mother bird was helpless as it could not take its baby back to the nest, it was impossible for the mother to carry its baby and fly.

            In the evening I called my neighbour to come and take the bird and keep it in the nest. But they didn’t pick up the call. At 7:30 in the evening I saw them so I told them everything and requested to keep the bird in its nest. They said that it is late and dark now so they will keep it in the morning. Then at night we brought the bird inside our house and kept it in the room in the tub and covered it with a cloth, leaving some space for air to go in. Before sleeping I gave the bird some water. In the morning I got up at 9:00 am and went down, where papa told me that our neighbour took the bird and kept it in its nest.

            That day I did not hear any chirping of the bird which meant that the bird was safe and sound in its nest and had not fallen anywhere. That was good until evening. In the evening I was standing outside and I saw that the little birdie was at the very corner of the roof top. I was scared that it might fall and what I thought came true! The little birdie saw that its parents flew in one way and it was trying to follow its parents. It walked forward and fell! It banged in the trees and came down and fell in my garden! Poor birdie!!! L I quickly went and picked it up and put it in the tub. I served it water and it cutely drank water.

            Papa clicked many pictures of the bird. Then after some time we went and gave it to our neighbour to keep it on their roof top in the bird’s nest. After that papa told me that if it again falls down we will not return it and keep itJ!!

            I do not want the bird to fall again but I do wish that if it falls, then it should fall in my garden so at least I can take care of it. It has been 2 days now and I cannot hear any kind of chirping of the bird which means it is safe!! I am happy for that bird and I wish for the bird to remain safe always.
