Let me start by saying that this is by far the saddest post I have ever done.
In my carport there is a large hollow beam that is seasonally inhabited by birds.
They lay their nests inside and you can hear the babies chirping when they hatch.
Only this time, as I was arriving home, I was horrified by what I saw.
Warning: If you are currently eating food and/or do not
want to see pictures of a dead baby bird, stop reading now!
An undeveloped newborn baby bird had fallen from it's nest. If
you're like me, your heart probably dropped to the floor just now :(
I know these photos are heartbreaking and may be too graphic
for some... and maybe I shouldn't be showing you something so sad...
But a Life is a Life no matter how small, and all Life needs to be appreciated and loved
I felt it was important to have a funeral for
Baby Bird, so I started by writing him/her a note...
I placed my note in an empty box that I decorated...
A bejeweled (Mighty Leaf Tea Tumbler) cardboard casket
Complete with gold rhinestones and a bird sticker
Then I found a sunny spot outside, next to some pretty pink flowers, to bury the box
Dug a hole with the shovel, gently laid Birdy to rest, then covered back up again
Baby Bird

Very very sad, but your respectful burial made me smile :)
oh, Kelsey... sorry this happened, and thank you SO much for taking care of the sweet little bird, giving it a proper send off <3
So sad! That happened to a baby bird once at my barn, and one of my friends took him in and took care of him. He was just learning to fly when the cat got him. It was awful.
I think its nice that you had a little funeral for him.
:o(
That is absolutely heart-wrenching, but you are the sweetest person ever for giving this little life such beautiful recognition <3 props to you, love

Yes, this post is achingly sad but it's also a beautiful testament to how sensitive and caring you are as a person.
I am sure the baby bird is in a better place, and that it would have been touched that someone cared enough to display such kindness.
*hugs*
