I was online for a while when I heard two guys talking. They had been there for a while so I investigated.

They were crouching down around a metal grate and I asked what the matter was.

Turns out, they had been informed of a baby hummingbird that had fallen from its nest earlier. They had rescued it and formed a make-shift nest and placed it in a small box that they had taped to the railing of their second floor apartment.

Saddly, it had fallen out and they were looking for it again.

The baby was making a high-pitched chirp and the mother was trying to feed, or find it. :) So, I joined in.

The baby is now in a sturdy box that we hung in the tree and, where cats cannot get to it. The mother continues to feed it and, while there is a small chance of survival, I pray for it safety.:(

Please join me and, thank the two young men that took the time to rescue such a fragile life. Most would have shrugged it off but these two were sincerely concerned.

There is still hope in this world.

I am pleased to say that, the little Hummingbird is doing fine today. I can hear it chirping as I write this post.

Some of you may already know but, the Hummingbird is my Power animal and I take great interest in this ones survival.

It is with profound sadness that I bring you all this news. The little hummingbird did not survive. The Goddess has reclaimed what She had brought forth.

However, the point of this story was to show that there are people out there that care enough to do something. To help when a creature, too weak and unable to fend for itself, is in trouble.

I knew, in my heart, that the animal would not make it - the mother had another in the nest and was unable to take care of both. The law of balance applies, though sad.

Blessed are the two young men that came to its aid.

Blessed Be, All,
RnR

A prayer:
Hoka-hey heya, Wakan kolya (Greetings, Great Spirit). Take the life that you gave and breath anew into its breast that its spirit may fly free. Nomahon yelo lila Wakan (Spirit, hear me, that I speak).
