Last year at this time a mom abandoned this little fledgling in our barn. Luckily my husband found it in the horse’s stall before our horse’s foot did.
We fed him every few hours (was surprised to know they eat cat food) and cared for him. I paper trained him (yes it is possible) so he didn’t mess his bed and taught him to fly. The pinnacle came when he flew to the window and came back to my hand. Robbie, as he was called, stayed with us for 14 days till he was ready to fend for himself.
It’s been a year and I’m just grateful in this time of coronavirus that we had this experience on the farm . It reminds us of the good and simple things in life.
Enjoying life’s little gifts.
