The phone rang at 7am. aagh! It was Helen with a bird rescue for me. AAGH!

The young girl had found it on the front lawn, and placed it in a shoe box lined with clean rags. It was a young friar bird, or leatherhead, a large honeyeater. A cat had caught it and torn its back up badly. The bird was well on the way out by the time I got it.

It is currently dying from choloroform as I write. I'm helping it die faster. I hate this. I feel like a little bit of me dies every time I do it.

What an awful way to start a day. I'm sorry to hear that, Batty. hugs Do Australian birds have the same problem with cat spit that the bats to?

Just think of how much more it would have suffered if you hadn't helped it along..

I agree, it's an awful way to start the day. Not much to say to make it better, either. I'm sorry. *hugs.*
