somehow i've rescued two baby birds in the span of a week lol??? the first was this sparrow in my building's garden!

unfortunately he was smol and couldn't really fly properly yet which makes him a tasty snack for cats and crows, but ah well that's just how nature is lol. regardless i picked him up and put him somewhere a bit more sheltered so hopefully he'll survive to adulthood!!

the second was this blackbird in the parking space in front of my grandma's building last night!! look at this grumpy little thing, really didn't like being picked up ( ᐛ )و

i put her in the park across the street because my grandma's building's parking space is underneath the street level and without being able to fly (she could flutter but not properly fly yet) it was just a matter of time before she got stuck and run over by a car. all the while i held her her dad was flying around SCREAMING at me which was really wholesome?? blackbirds will fight to protect their babies and i think that's really cool!! the most experience i've had with fledglings were pigeons and with those if the parents get scared they'll just leave lol, full on "fuck the kids i'll just make more" SDFGHJKL

some years ago i found an even smaller blackbird in the woods! or well my dog whiskey found him ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

i just gently put him under a shrub away from the main path since there's always cyclists and other dogs! whiskey is actually really sweet with baby birds, yeah he'll chase if they fly off but he doesn't want to eat them he just wants to smell them (❁´ω`❁)

a bit more grim but i also have a blackbird skull i'm working on rn! not gonna post a photo here bc that's not.......... very disney princess SDFGHJKL but yeah a while back i found a dead blackbird and buried it in my building's garden, waited for it to decompose enough for me to take just the skull and it's currently buried in a planter on my balcony as i wait for it to decompose a little more. then i'm gonna buy some hydrogen peroxide to get it nice and white (◡‿◡✿)

my coworkers say this is some serial killer shit LMAO
