I too, have rescued two birds, a red tailed hawk and a tiny screech owl.
Lovely lady,
The hawk could be released back into the wild, dangerous world, but little Hoot had lost an eye in a collision with a car, and could no longer hunt for him or herself. Hoot lived with me for 14 months, before the day I found Hoot's pitiful little dead body, lying in the 2ftx4ftx4ft cage I had made for this little bird. Hoot couldn't possibly have lived for another single day, had I not found and taken Hoot home with me. I've no way of knowing if Hoot was young or old when the accident happened or how long a screech owl lives, but Hoot at least had an extra 14 months of life, so I consoled myself over Hoot's loss to my life, knowing this.
Thanks for your compassionate compositions, and for reading my insipid drivel. Friends are the only true wealth one can accumulate in our lifetimes, and they don't require any effort, but to BE a friend, in return. Bye for now, my friend Christy.
Guy
