RE: got to tell this story

[Guest guest]

I have got to tell this story...today my next door neighbor called in

a panic...help ..I have a nest a oriole babies on the ground the

storm we had blew the nest out of the tree...I say,,,Put the nest back

it is always best to let momma take care of her babies....4 hours

later my door is being knocked down and there she is with two tiny

babies...the nest is down again and the babies are stone cold..I get

all hurt, wounded, half dead animals to bring back to life in the

nieghborhood because I have many of my own and have the reputation of

a save the animals person...anyway I get them warmed back up with a

heating pad and feed them with an eye dropper and baby bird food..then

make a call to the county game warden...I have no idea what to feed

bay orioles ...I am told put those babies back...there is a 2,500.00

dollar fine per baby per day...they are a federally protected

migratory bird....I am thinking I am trying to protect them they are

going to die ...momma and daddy arent coming back we have been

observing from the window ...off and on all day...anyway to make a

long story short after several hours of phone calls ..I find someone

with the Audubon Society that can legally care for these babies to

take them...having to drive three hours upstate to get them to a

Person that is legal....I find myself thinking is there a government

agency anywhere that makes sense?...Anyway it was a day of

concentrating on a different kind of trouble....didnt have time for

the pain day ...and now as I sit here reflecting...totally pooped out

it has been a good laugh...keep thinking to myself I guess there are

people out there in high positions a lot crazier than little ole

me....hope I didnt bore anyone just had to tell the story...Kathi in

You are a very sweet person for taking these poor little baby birds " under your

wing " . I hope they make it.

Kathi,

I had no idea that oriols were endangered. I've rescued all kinds of wildlife,

and never would think to find out if any of them were protected or I could be

fined. It's nice of them to let you know how they do and invite you to the

release party!
