I would like to share an important tip with you. You may encounter more stray baby birds during spring and this may make you want to adopt them. However, before you do, you need to be sure they truly are abandoned and didn’t just fall from a nest close by because their parents might be searching for them. Give it some time to see if their parents return. Please note that feeding baby birds is more difficult than you think because they need special nutrition. Their metabolism is still weak; therefore, they can only eat soft, organic, moist food. Furthermore, newborn birds can only consume small amounts of food at a time.
Now, it's time to grab that chuckle drink with the joke of the day. This one’s entitled, “Art Project.”
I am a first-grade teacher and a new empty nester. One night, I was testing out an art project for my class: Making a person with simple materials. I took a coat hanger, attached a paper-plate face to it, put a shirt on the hanger and stuffed it. Then I sat it on the couch to see how it looked. Later that evening, my son walked in the door. He had come home for a surprise visit. Taking one look at my coat-hanger friend sitting on the couch, he said: “Mom, it isn’t that bad, is it?”
