I know I said I was not going to post today ( it's Australia day tomorrow) and that I was taking a long weekend. But I had to post this photo. Do you remember that baby bird I saved last October? It was only a few days old when I found it. Well I have tried to release it 3 times and every time it keeps flying back to me. It wont go. So I decided to keep it a little longer. A lot longer? He/she seems to be fitting into the Beach Vintage lifestyle quite well don't you think? Oh whatever have I done....
photo taken this morning by me
Oh my goodness...that sweet thing know a good thing when it has one...why would it ever want to leave? One smart bird you are bring up...what is it's name? You are just too sweet my friend. Happy Aussie day to you!
ReplyDeleteWow Simone - I think you may have a 'keeper' there:) That little birdie obviously knows and appreciates where it is better off:) Just gorgeous! - Tina x
ReplyDeleteOh my..that is a precious story. He just has a vintage beach bird heart!
ReplyDeleteOMgoodness! What a sweetie! Lucky you guys I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you done??? You have followed your heart and nurtured a beautiful little soul back to life and you are clearly its life. A new member of your family for as long as it wants. I am positive it will have a wonderful life with you!
ReplyDeleteAs for the cushions why don't you let me know what you would be willing to pay. You know, I am not very good at doing business with friends :)

ReplyDeleteWill it be ok in the wild? Perhaps it thinks you are its mama! I think should it love you it should stay. x
ReplyDeleteLooks like that bird thinks it is part of the family! Obviously knows when it is on to a good thing.

It looks like this little angelic bird has decided to adopt you. What a magical gift!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet - and what a happy ending :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Beach Vintage lifestyle would be very enjoyable for the birdy! Have you named it yet??
Happy Australia Day!!
OMG, so absolutely adorable! I guess you're its permanent abode.
ReplyDeletehahahaha... he is so cute.. and funny... what type of bird is it?
ReplyDeleteWell Simone have a great Australia Day with the new member of the family.. hehe xx Julie
Oh what a sweety pie!
ReplyDeleteHe just thinks you're his mommie. He never wants to leave your lovely home.
Hugs from The Netherlands (europe)

Looks like you have a new member of the family

I also saved one of these from a cat once - they're pretty things. Btw, this isn't a crested pigeon. It's a spotted dove, which is an introduced species. The crested pigeon has similar shape/colouring but is an Australian native bird and has a little mohawk. Sorry to be a know it all and of course I would save any and all birds (except, perhaps for Indian Mynahs, which really are a pest)!

Oh that's incredible! You are a bird wisperer! It reminds me of that story, "Are you my Mother?" about the little bird. Well done, I love your little friend, does it have a name? xo
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it's nice for both you and the bird to have a good friend.
ReplyDeleteA story with a happy ending - how wonderful! Leigh
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how the little birdie was doing, and hoping that your silence didn't infer bad news! Yah for happy endings:) xox
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely. Dear little bird. xx
ReplyDeletehola simone!!!the little bird knows exactly where he want to be...in the best place!!!!enjoy your long weekend!!muchos besos!!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely... it's hard to keep a little bird alive when it was so small when you found it... It's obviously meant to be :) Such a cute photo!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh your mama bird now :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful ending :) or should I say beginning for Mr. Bird. You should name it.
You should definitely name her/him! Poor little bird thinks you're it's mommy, and I guess you are!
ReplyDeleteIt thinks you are its mother! Is it such a bad thing that it loves you? Can it fend for itself? As long as it can, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem right? Like a pet cat or something?! xxx
ReplyDeleteHave you and your daughter read "Are You My Mother?"? What an appropriate book for you two to read.
ReplyDeleteHow fun for you and your family to have this "guest".
Jane (artfully graced)
what a sweetheart! it reminds me of that book by dr. seuss i think "are you my mother?"
ReplyDeleteahh let him stay... i had a bird that came and ate the food i made.. it was always there looking for it. i finally had to stop putting it out because the racoons came and took it...
ReplyDeleteYou've made a friend! Great photo by the way!
ReplyDeleteOh Simone, this made my day! What a sweet little bird. It's so funny that he's really made himself part of your family. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteI resqued a baby (1" barely feathery) newborn three years ago. Her mother had made nesting material out of some plastic (oh pul-lease people, RECYCLE! Keep it out of nature!) string which had gotten wrapped around the leg, mother threw her out of the nest, sigh. The vet had to cut off the foot the plastic had grown into, right before she said "She'll be yours forever, are you willing?"
ReplyDeleteI fed her every 5-20 min. the first 30 days, the feeding times graduated into loner increments of time, and my little one-footed bird began to talk to me. She began to learn how to squak to voice her displeasure, or when one of her two water dishes (one for bath, one to drink) was getting past an acceptable level of low. She has to have her own room due to my cats thinking either a) lunch, b) a new toy. Hence she has her own tv to avaoid sensory deprivation, in between times I go in her room to sew or do crafts every day.
She will be four years old this coming July, is a joy to live with, and I will be "Mom" forever to her.
Your bird has obviously chosen you over Mother Nature. You have done the right thing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the love!

Yey! Our friend is still around? That is just too precious! x
ReplyDeleteOh, that is just beautiful!
