I have saved 3 baby birds and a turtle (twice), unless there were 2 turtles. A Mockingbird made a nest in an oak tree in our back yard. She laid eggs in it and the babies hatched. The Mom and Dad Mockingbird have been driving us crazying screaming at us and dive bombing us everytime we go in the back yard. The birds will dive bomb and peck Sadie and Pooh on the rear end. We have been through this before. So I have been watchful for the baby birds to hop down and begin hopping around the yard trying out their wings. I have tried in the past putting the babies back in the nest repeatedly when they hop down, but they just hop back down on the ground again. So this time I caught the baby bird (just in time, saved the babies from our 2 Beagles) and took them to the front yard. I called a wildlike preservation and they said that the Mom bird would find her babies in the front yard and take care of them. I hope they will be ok. At least I know our doggies didn't get them.
The small turtle I saved is about 4 inches long. I put him in the front flowerbed a few days ago. This morning I found him in the back yard again or maybe it was another one? I am thinking of taking him down the road to the duck pond. Anyone know if the turtle would like that?What do little turtles like this like to eat? Lettuce?
Also found a big bull frog swimming in the pool this morning. Too much wildlife for me!!!
