I found an injured bird in the road and took him home to nurse back to health. He may have jumped out of the nest a day or two early, but something had knocked the daylights out of him. He slept a whole day in an orchid basket, and then the second day, I got him to eat some raw hamburger meat. At first, only a little teeny piece, and then bigger chunks, every hour. The last two times, he ate about a whole teaspoonful :burp: Then he flew away. The end.

the bird was a vegetarian you monster
 
Wtf kind of bird eats ground beef?!?!

Did you see those pics? Thats one haggard looking bird. Hes like a homeless guy. How many hopeless guys do you know that will turn down some delicious ground beef? None, thats how many.

Also this thread had the best original post out of all the threads in recent memory. Good Job ThunderDawg, you made it to my cool members list.
 
I sure hope I'm on that list

What's with HL2.net being friends of the animals nowadays? Looks like everybody's finding their cute little morality pet

Not that I'm complaining. Animals are pretty cool.
 
This wasn't just ground beef. It was ground sirloin.

Update:
He came back today. Methinks he wants barbeque :cheese:

I don't know if you meant "Homeless guys", but I lol'd kind of hard.

Where have you been?
HL2.netters always care more about animals over real human beings.



Child loses legs, surgery hopeless, wheelchair for life

"I feel wheely bad for him! Ahaha"

Man kills dog for eating son's legs

":( poor dog"
 
Aw, cute bird. That's cool that you were able to help him get better... usually injured baby birds just die when people try to take care of them.

As for feeding him ground beef, I thought that was kinda gross at first, but then I remembered that people at my university used to feed pieces of chicken to the pigeons and play "fishing" with the squirrels using food at the end of a fishing pole with a hook on the line, which is definitely worse :(.

Any idea what species bird that is?
 
Earlier this year, I hosted a pair of cardinals nesting in my patio ceiling. They had 3 fledges. But the Momma, whom I named Claudia, did not like that I smoked on the patio...

Then there was this strange little guy, whose name is Scrappy Doo. He was apparently attacked by one of the birds. Gotta tell them, "can't we all just get along..." :angel:
