    Every year a black bird comes and makes its nest outside our window. One year we found several babies had fallen out of their nest, so we put gloves on and put them back in it. It is always sad when a bird never gets to fly or when one dies and leaves its partner behind.

    This is really sweet but a sad story for the bird. They are really like humans on this captured moments.

    why didn't the photographer help the injured bird instead of just taking pictures?

    I read that the part of the brain we use for emotion and for relationship, that's the main thing that a bird's brain has in it...
