I love birds.
I reared 3 baby sparrows once and one of them was so weak I didn't think he would survive, but I persevered and he did.
I released the other 2 and they flew off into the trees near my house at the time, but the 3rd stayed with me and lived in, on and around a cage in my living room.
He liked to tuck himself into the crook of my arm or sit on my shoulder under my hair while I was watching tv.
He was a devil for trying to pinch food. I had him for over 7 years, he was a lovely little thing.
What a really sweet story.

I don’t know French but I really like that photo... it says a lot about you photography skills when I would have used the title word to describe the picture with ought knowing the theme . That’s how I felt about your others as well:)

I love birds too. That's so nice that you were able to get them through their terrible lot in life. I had a baby robin in my backyard one year without visible parents. I just kept trying to protect him when I spotted him. He rewarded me with a nest that I could look at baby robins without a ladder. I know it was him because he always liked to sit in the back yard and sing with my zebra finches. They don't forget you.
That's true, they don't forget. I also reared a finch one year and released him in my garden. For weeks after he used to come and sit on my bedroom window when I was upstairs, and when I was pegging washing out he would fly down and sit on the line close to me. He would even fly down to sit on my hand if I was in the garden.
He stopped coming one day and I just hope it was because he moved on and not because a cat got him.

I like the name! We have a “Tip” here. They turned a corner of it into a shop, and one can find very interesting things there sometimes.
Yes some of our counties have a shop at the tip too. Good idea for recycling.
It amazes me when I see some of the things with some life left in them, that people throw in skips.
There's no need for it these days with the Freecycle websites and charity shops etc.

Lovely ! I like those. When I find one in my garden I give him or her a nice soak and then release agian. The last hot summer in Germany I put out some plant saucers with water for toads and birds etc.
