Yesterday, around noon, I observed a blue jay relentlessly pecking a fledgling sparrow. The sparrow's siblings were standing around watching this. I chased the blue jay away and scolded him. I thought that was that but then the whole scene repeated. So instead of just chasing the blue jay away, I sat in the grass and inched my way toward the traumatized bird until I saw that it was too stunned to react to my presence.
I lined a box with torn up paper towels and placed it gently in there so he or she could recover or die peacefully. My husband helped me give it water with an eye dropper. We both had the chance to pet it softly and give it our heart energy. We had to keep checking to see if it would pull through. At one point it took a nap and I could see the breath was calmer.
Around 3:00 I went to give it some more water and it was alert! When I reached in it chirped sharply. I was ecstatic! I carefully grasped it loosely in my hand and took it outside. As soon as I opened my hand it flew to our fig tree. We were all so happy. --PURE JOY! I made an orange poppy seed cake to celebrate.
