abcs Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Last night a robin flew into my picture window. I buried it in the backyard this morning. Since then i discover a baby bird right there nearby where I found what i'm guessing was its mom. Its alive. Should I leave it alone? It looks like its almost probably close to being able to fend for itself. Maybe put an umbrella over it? go dig up some worms? get it off the ground and into a makeshift nest?

Fist 666 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 baby birds die pretty quickly on their own, and they are delectable to cats and bird dogs. i wouldn't stress about it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 this has been my project since i cant leave much. When i was a kid my grandma hooked it it so i felt like making it look nice. Spent quite a lot of time out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yea im glad that shit worked itself out. The fact that the baby was in the same spot as the dead one bummed me out. I wasn't exactly thrilled by the prospect of burying another bird tomorrow when i may have been able to help it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfffffffffft Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 how is your grandfather doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 bein a pain in the ass. Hes chill tho. Thx for askin. Can hardly walk and has the presence of mind of a 2 year old. Highly resistant to showering and changing his clothes but aside from that.... ukno whats funny and unfortunate. He puts up a fight whenever ask him to bathe... He hates to do it. So today after finally dimeing him out to my aunt he hops in the shower and takes care of business.... then forgets he took the shower and 45 minutes later he takes another. I could tell dementia stories all day. Shits bananas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 comes down to it. If I quit he goes to assisted living he would be confused and trying to walk home. They will consider him a threat to himself and put him on a Seroquel, Tegertol, Thorazine diet. I find that unacceptable and especially since he is happy and wants to remain here. Its tough for me insofar as I dont get much or any support from fam. I cant leave to do much of anything. I am paid real wall to be here tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 yeah, nice looking garden. your hostas look nice 4 or 5 years old or just dense planting? what do you use for slugs and snails? is there a 'show me your garden/yard thread? if not can we retitle this one as such? i've got a yard i'm pretty fucking proud of, and i'm not hurting in the gnome department either, if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 hostsa are 4-5 years I weeded, arranged, cleaned up some things. added, Pulled,replaced and elevated some rocks Planted 4 or 5 perennials but mostly my contribution is the annuals. I threw down a bunch of flats of different white, yellow and beige flowers. Then some purple and pink ones. The other half are up front. More of the same annuals tho... No slugs or worms. I watch birds pulling em out of my lawn often enough. Not sure why that is. I live over a ribbon of clay. I have a lot of fireflys here too. Last thing i did was throw down some mulch around the flowers. Helps retain moisture i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
