Baby Bird Needs her Mama

I will preface that this is a sad one!


Today the kids and I went to the zoo for just over an hour. While we were going into the monkey building to go potty, I rolled over something with the stroller and it squeaked. I looked and saw that it was a baby bird. Now, this bird had no feathers, no nothing, my guess is that it fell to the ground from the egg! But yet it also looked like it could be one of those really realistic sqeaky toys to prank the moms out there. I just could not tell. So I tapped it with my foot and this had brought Dash and Sammie's attention to it. It squeaked again and then tried to roll over and opened its mouth. The kids were very concerned about this bird finding his mama. So much so that we had to find a zoo worker and take him to the bird so the kids could show him what they were talking about. I was very impressed that Dash himself talked to the zoo keeper! The zoo keeper came outside to take a peek. He ened up picking the bird up to act as though he was gonna help him find his mama. Sammie felt the need to call daddy right away to tell him all about it. And she did on the phone today!
