    Oh Robin, I know how you must be feeling. I'm so so sorry. I feel like crying just reading your post, and knowing how much you are hurting. I wish I could give you a big warm hug. Please don't blame yourself. Sometimes things just happen that are beyond our control, you really did the best you could. I know that just seems like small consolation right now. I wish I could offer more, but I truly feel I empathize with what you are feeling right now and wish so much I could numb the pain for you.

    Just take a deep breath and try to do something relaxing if you can. Turn on the TV a bit or read a book or burn a scented candle nearby, maybe have a cup of hot coffee/tea/cocoa or something soothing. I'd give you a nice shoulder massage if I could, help relax you . All my love to you Robin. You know you are always welcome to call me too if you ever need to talk.

    Love,
    Jess

    Robin, this is so sad My heart breaks for you. I can imagine how you feel. I have alot of baby birds being raised in my yard. Being so close to them makes it so much harder I know. Please take comfort in the fact that all things happen for a reason. I'm sorry that probably won't make it any easier.

    oh, i'm so sorry. having breeds with such high prey drive can suck sometimes. Gracie has killed chickens and Kodie has killed chickens and a kitten.

    I really am sorry, Robin. I know you have mentioned how much you enjoyed having the babies in your yard. You have done a good job of protecting them, and helping mom and dad bird nurture them. They may have actually been safer in and survived much longer in your yard than they would have in many other places where there isn't such a caring human being too keep an eye on things. RIP little birdie.

    I'm so sorry! I know how you must feel. A few years ago Marta dug up a nest of baby rabbits, and I tried to nurse them back and I fed them formula with an eye dropper, they were all doing really well, two of them looked healthy and even opened their eyes! But then they died mysteriously, I don't know why and I still feel very sad thinking about it, like I did something wrong.
    It wasn't your fault about the baby bird- you did a good thing by protecting them. I hope the other baby is ok.
