Bird

I’ve not told people this. Just beginning of this year, I noticed a bird building a nest just above the front door. It looked very hardworking, flying too and fro, bringing little bits of twigs or leaves each time. That was almost 3 months ago. It’s nest was completed quite some time ago.

Then one fine day, I noticed something on the floor.

Apparently from the time the nest was completed until now, a little chick hatched. This little one was probably learning to fly, but somehow, failed. It failed to successfully fly, so it ended up on the floor. To think that if the nest had been built elsewhere, the outcome might have been totally different.

It’s really a cute bird. In the end, I lined a shallow plastic bowl with some paper, placed the bird inside it and put the bowl near to the nest. By then, it’s parents were already flying around, chirping but not going near me at all.

A few days later, the bird was nowhere to be found. Best guess is that it finally managed to learn how to fly. :wink:
