My kids love animals, especially Avery. She loves any kind of animals, animals with feathers, animals with scales, animals that creep and crawl..that little girl loves them all. I'll never forget going to brush my teeth one morning and finding a baggie full of worms she had washed because "They were dirty". Here's what she's come up with just over the last week:
Our neighbor found this bird and "gave" him to my kids. We've kept him in a box with water and soggy bread for almost a week...he's almost doubled in size and has all his feathers so we expect him to leave "our nest" soon.
This little fella was found in the backyard. He enjoyed some time on the trampoline with 4 jumping kids, met the bird from above and rode around for quite some time in Avery's pocket. He was released (unharmed thank goodness) and quickly hopped away deep into the bushes.
And finally...2 darling ducklings we found at Chisolm Park. These were with their mom however, and she made her presence known loud and clear. She patiently allowed the kids to hold her babies for a few minutes but let them know in no uncertain terms when it was time to put her babies down. She opened her beak and flew at the kids straight out of the water...that was the fastest I saw them move all day :)
Sooo....the baby ducks are home with their family, the frog is safe in the bushes and our bird will soon be big enough to fly and fend for himself...my only question...what will she bring home next???
