Bird flu!!!

Ok - not really Bird Flu. Definitely bird FLEW though! Tanner (our resident future physician)rescued this injured dove from our backyard. His wing was definitely broken making future flying impossible. After a thorough examination by the 6 year old, it was decided that a trip to the Shasta County Wild Life Preserve was in order.

We loaded up the bird and made the trek to get the needed care for our feathered friend. While the future looks bleak (not beak!) for the bird - my kids and I left there knowing we did all that we could to help this little one. A valuable lesson was learned about caring for ALL of God's creatures - great and small.

***Now, does the fact that my boys were sitting in the backseat (with the injured bird sitting between them) pretending to shoot birds flying by mean that they missed the lesson???***
