My dear husband pulled his boot off of the shelf to put on and low and behold there were baby birds....some hatched....some trying to hatch and others not yet hatched.
I was very emotional, because if the momma bird smelt any human touch to these babies she wouldn't take care of them so with extreme care the babies were put back in to the boot and soon after we saw momma back in the shoe taking care of the young...
Honestly, I cried and was so upset over the possibility of them dieing. I turned to my hubby and laid my head on his shoulder's. One might think that I am just a lover of all living thing's. I wouldn't go that far, definitely not a "hater", but I can't stand to see anything living-hurting. Those bird's were just hatched and still hatching and they were moving all around so they weren't hurt by the boot falling to the ground. As a matter of fact, as DH took the book off of the shelf the momma flew out, so I imagine that is why the boot hit the ground. :) As it stands now all is well and we are hoping to get some really good picture's of the bird's again really soon. After all the anxiety it felt like had just worked out on the treadmill. I'm grateful they are alright. Every spring since moving here, three years ago we have been priviledged to see new baby bird's.

Oh Vicki, I know just how you feel. We had a hummingbird come in the garage side door and appeared to be very disoriented and trying to drink nectar from the light fixture above the washer/dryer. Joseph ended up bring my feeder in from the front porch and hanging it up on the light & catching the bird (very carefully) and placing it on the feeder!!! It remained there for quite some time trying to calm down and eventually flew off. We were all so concerned for this bird's well-being. Thanking God we were able to help one of God's creatures.
