While playing outside with the kids yesterday afternoon, a little blue feather friend decided to stop by and visit. He wasn't too afraid of the kids and hoped around the yard a bit. He later sat under our round picnic table. I guess he got thirsty, as he landed beside the pond to get a drink and then fell in. Madison rescued him from the water but didn't know what to do with the poor shivering baby. I picked him up, wrapped him in a towel and tried to dry him off. Later we placed him in the sun where he could warm up a bit more and his mother could see him.
Norm came by to get his mail and we moved the baby to a branch in a bush and took some pictures of him. The little guy was so calm with the kids looking at him etc. He really liked sitting on my hand.
It was a wonderful learning experience for all the kids! They were able to see and appreciate nature and creatures from nature. They saw us save, dry off, feed and release the little guy back into his home!
