Teaching a bird flying skills






My son, Don, spent the day at our place yesterday. After lunch, we went out to view a property at one of the nearby condos and took some pics. I was a great way for me to practice taking pics on my Nikon D40X camera.
When we arrived back at our apartment, we found a little bird on the ground slowly being attacked by ants. We all had to save the bird and my wife had to pour water on it to disperse the ants. After sweeping away the ants from the bird, Don took it in his hands to see if it was still alive and thankfully, it was except it could not fly. We all love animals, in fact, all living things (except creepy crawlies) Urghh!!! Don tried to get the bird to fly as you can see from the pics. At first it did flap its wings in an attempt to fly but being weak, I guess it could not take off to the sky. After a few attempts, we decided to take it back to our apartment and try to nurse it until it is strong again and this time, hopefully it will be able to take off and be free.
