Description A huge storm struck, and I saw this poor little bird sitting there soaking wet and shivering. At first, I thought it was dead, then it moved, and I gently picked it up.
I brought it inside and gently held it against my chest until it was warm (Between my boobs and my hand) - it finally stopped shivering. I got a soft cloth and started to dry off its feathers - once it was feeling better I put it in a small container, with holes in the top with a towel and a little food to wait out the storm.
The little sparrow dried off nicely, and the storm is past and it is nice and warm outside.

Know what's really adorable? The little Sparrow sat on my finger for a minute or so, looking at me, before it cheeped, spread its wings, and flew away. ^.^

I think I saved its life, if I'd left it there on the sidewalk shaking and soaked, it would have died.

Isn't it the cutest little bird? x3
( says it's a housefinch but I'm too lazy to edit the whole paragraph xD)

He was fortunate to have you there, and in time! A lot of animals could have gotten to him first, too.

I believe so. Either a female House Finch, or a juvenile. She looks fully grown so I think she's a female, cause I don't think young birds would be that close to adulthood yet.
AND she was able to fly just fine. There's a lot of nesting birds around.

Helping birds is always fun, they're realy neet little things. My house has a lrge window on the front side so birds often fly into it. Normaly I wouldn't bother to help them right away because they are usualy just a little dazed and take off right away but I have a few cats on my yard...

lover-of-the-Drow In reply to Ep1cShad0w [2011-06-10 03:05:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it is, cause birds are so adorable and cute!
I'd just fend the cats off until the bird got up and flew away ^^
