[QUOTE="missusoverall, post: 64281, member: 3866"] Update on the bird(!); took it to the vet who told us it was a baby who had probably fallen from its nest - no broken bones just can't fly yet. Vet told Alex what to feed the bird and that he had to do it every 4 hours - he came down for an alarm clock beaming and said 'I'm being responsible for something!' Bless... All the way, since he turned up with it, I have constantly stressed that if it was poorly, it would be kinder to put it down - Marguerite, I told him what you said about the bird's bones - luckily he already knew and understood so thanks for the info - he relates better to facts - they help to make hard emotional decisions easier for him. If he can rationalise or prepare for emotion he's okay. Now I am constantly saying that the day will come when it's strong enough to fly away and that will be the sign that Alex has looked after him really well, so he feels the loss is a sign of success - we'll see how he copes with this. P.S I think the vet thought we were all mad... Sarah [/QUOTE]
