bye bye birdie #WildlifeWednesday

a few days ago i found this beautiful little house finch in my backyard, sitting just as you see her here. she didn’t fly away when i approached her and when i took a closer look at her, she didn’t look well to me.


i offered my hand and i had a snow white moment when she jumped up on me.


i could tell by her demeanor that she wouldn’t be with us much longer and my heart broke for her. an hour later i found her laying on her side laboring to breathe and the next time i checked on her, she was gone.


she had really tugged at my heartstrings so i wasn’t about to just throw her in the garbage bin like trash. i wrapped her in a hankie and we laid her to rest under our rose tree.


rest in peace little one.


until we meet again my friends-

  1. Oh no, how sad! You wonder what her story was :( My cat killed a baby rabbit the other day, and I buried it, too. So sad...

  3. Very sad story, especially when you are a bird lover. But so glad you gave her a little burial and that is why she came here, she scented your loving heart.

  4. I like to think that she came to you for company in her last hour. Everybody and everything needs love especially when we are vulnerable.
