Description: I had to do something to scare away the crows in my garden. The Next day I got a surprise...Was this Mother Nature telling me something? Dear Animal Friends... What demanding times. Let's take care of one another. I am working hard on some wonderful new stories to bring you moments of joy during these challenging days Please be safe out there ps: The unfinished version of this video was uploaded by accident a few weeks ago. Here is the finished one. I hope you like it :) I have been taking care of a sweet Jackdaw (a small crow species). He was brought to me when he was still very young. The vet living next to my sister had heard about me and thought that maybe I was willing to give this little fellow a chance... although the vet thought that he wouldn't make it. ----- Little birds that need help are in need of the following: Note: Although you might like taking care of a baby bird, often they stand a better chance of survival if taken to an animal rescue centre near you. By the way, thank's for caring :) (never give any animal that needs your help cow milk!) Warmth: Make sure it is just the right temperature by looking at the bird: is it trying to get closer to the heat source (too cold) or away from it (too hot). Watch out... too hot is also dangerous. A bottle filled with warm water might work, or a lamp. Safety: Make sure that the bird is safe from pets or other animals and children. Food and water: Most baby birds will not drink water (parent birds can't get it to them either) even a little bit could drown them. They get their moisture from wet food. Like the bird in this video, high quality dog food soaked in water works really well. Good luck - Cameras used: Canon EOSD7 Sony HDR NX 30 I-Phone 8 plus Music through Audio Network.
