Bird Refuge

Back at the beginning of the summer Gary was going out into the back yard and the was like 50 birds going crazy up in the trees squawking at something. Then a cat ran out across the back yard. So Gary went out further to see what was going on. He found two little birds down on the tennis court that couldn't fly. The cat had somehow gotten them out of the tree and the other birds were squawking to scare the cat away. Gary didn't know what to do with the birds and didn't want the cat to come back and get them. So he put them in the trampoline and zipped it up. I did not really like this because birds are gross and we have no idea how to take care of them. So I thought for sure they would be there for a few days and die of starvation or something. But Gary could not just let them die, he had to try something. The next morning it was crazy, Gary went out to check on them and other birds were flying down and bringing them food. Luckily they weren't tiny little babies and were able to fly away about two days later. Here are the little birds and their destruction of the trampoline. It was pretty gross to get all that bird poop off the tramp.
