The next morning she's at it again! What is going on???? Turns out a baby bird had gotten stuck in the well and couldn't fly. The parents kept flying in and crying and trying to get it out to no avail. So Nat and I were both too scared to touch it so we get Zach... He gets it out and it walks back over and falls in again!!!!
We did this about 3 times... finally Sami gets in and takes it to the yard. Well, Izzy goes nuts and tries to attack it. Natalie and I freak out screaming at the dog to leave the poor bird alone. Finally safe from the window wells it went into a tree under my window and was there all day. I saw the parents come over there and I left Izzy in side for several hours.
We went out later and couldn't see the parents or the baby bird... I figured it was safe.
Later that night the kids saw Izzy in the back flower bed freaking out... She finally succeeded in killing our rescue. We were all so sad, that Craig buried for the kids.
A few days later the kids found another bird by the garage. Turns out it was our same friend, Izzy had to have another go at our friend...
We have this family of birds that builds a nest each year in our roof. I found a baby bird by my garden about a week before this horror. I think that parents pushed it out to fly and it hit its poor head on the concrete mow strip.
Anyway, sad time for birds in our yard! Dang dog.
