Itty Bitty update

Itty Bitty made it through the night in her box. This morning we took the lid off to check her out and she caught a couple little bugs that were on the leaves in her box. She hopped up on the edge and decided to go explore my kitchen counters a little. Total Clorox moment-I assure you my counters will be getting scoured. She hopped around the sink and over to the dirty dishes on the counter.



Since she looked so frisky we offered her a little birdseed and some bread. She ate and ate so apparently a quiet night of rest got her ready for a big breakfast.

That whole chunk of bread disappeared into this tiny, tiny bird. With our luck she'll end up being too fat to fly. She did reward us with a lovely little song-either that or she was warning us to back up off her bread. Either way it was cute...

Our neighbor Kathleen is going to pick up a little bird cage for her at the store today so Itty Bitty can get out of the box but hopefully she'll heal up fast and not have to spend too much time in the box or the cage. Although if her wing doesn't heal enough to let her go I think Kathleen is rather enamored with her and can likely be talked into giving her a good home. I've all ready told Itty Bitty that Kathleen is the one she should be sucking up to.
