amancalledpony's blog post - My good deed

Was in my backyard and heard a bird flapping in a bush. Looked in, it was a small bird hanging upside down doing its best bat impersonation. I walked away but was curious about it. SO checked again. It was flapping like crazy, like it was stuck. Poor thing had its leg wrapped around a small branch. It was stuck. (not sure how it got in that situation). I reached in, broke the little branch. Bird flew off then landed on the weber. Looked at me, chirped a couple times them flew into the trees. I took that as a thank you. Poor bird was a sitting duck if a hawk heard it flapping. Some days it is the little things that can make you happy.

I have had a shitty day and have been sad for hours. I read this and cracked a smile. Thank you so much!

Want me to get a stick and beat all those women off of you now or wait another 15 minutes? lol Please tell me it wasn't a raven

No it was not a raven. But given my love of Poe that would be appropriate. It was a wren.

Yup, it's nice to help an animal in need :-)

one time I was working on my car next to the garage for hours. I went in to eat lunch and when I came back out I found a sparrow hanging dead from a piece of fishing line that got wound around him. I felt so bad that the lil guy had such bad timing, otherwise I could have saved him. Good job, pony!
