How wonderful you got to share these experiences with your dad. It was my dad who showed me how to properly hold a bird (I remember being super excited but really nervous too-scared I may crush it) The poor bird had flown into the window, it was stunned but eventually flew off.

My dad rescued a crow that had fallen from a palm tree in front of our house as a baby. We nursed it back to health before ultimately releasing it back into the wild. The experience was one of the greatest lessons I learned as a child about the importance of nature, letting wild things stay wild, and what our role in all of it is. Thank you for the reminder.

Thank you for writing this beautiful story! When I was a a child, I took in baby birds also. I did that a few years ago in the hot desert. I took baby’s picture, then released it under a cool bush.
