Can we keep it?

How many times have I hear this already?.....

Kilean went to the park with the kids. She came back with this.....



Doesn't it look like a baby chick?




I will eat food and spit it out...The bird will eat it right?




The funny thing is they were SERIOUS!!!!! So my kids want this little baby bird. I am a firm no. It will die without the proper care. So in my spare time(LOL) I look online for a phone number for "animal rescue". This bird is real young so it needed help quick. After being on the phone for awhile I learned it was a baby quail.

I found a woman in Apache Junction who would take it. So we jumped in the car and we drove it there. This woman was wonderful. She took this baby bird out of the box and promised she would keep it safe. She would introduce it to the other quail she had and eventually put it in her aviary. When it is old enough she will let the whole group go. My kids were sad to see their little friend go, but glad it would be safe!!!
