Hey, I was busy scripting when my fiancee Laura ran inside. She quickly urged me to run out to her car as fast as possible. When I got there, there was a small, nearly full feathered, little sparling on her floor bird. She said she had found It on the road by walmart and saved it from being run over.
Well, I didn't know what to do with it, and neither did she, so we went outside and tried to teach it how to fly. (it learned to fall gracefully) and then we called all of our freinds for advice, none had any.
A few hours went by and I noticed TONS of tinny little mites crawling all over the poor thing. Like, thousands. I knew this was bad so immidiatly began calling veternarian services for advice, they were all busy, or didn't treat birds.
I finally decided to go online and got a decent education on what needed to be done. I rushed to walmart looking for a nest, but there wasn't one anywhere in sight. Then we went and bought the ingrediants we needed. Grapes to hydrate it, cat food and tums to combine into food, 5% sevin dust to take care of the mites, etc.
Well, it's about 12 midnight when we get back, the bird isn't looking to good (they are suposed to be fed every hour or so) and he is still covered with mites that bite! (yes, me too)
He won't wake up long enought to see that I have food. He is acting VERY weak, and I am very afraid I'm going to loose him.
PLEASE I don't care what god you pray to, just please, send your good thoughts his way.
I know I shouldn't really care so much about 1 little bird, but I just can't stand to let it go, and it's really yearing at me.
