About Me
- BB
- California, United States
- I live in Sacramento, California and have always attracted injured or lost birds, so I'm volunteering my time at the Wildlife Care Facility in the aviary nursery, to help feed tiny babies. The facility cares for all kinds of birds until they are ready to be released back into the wild. I'm told that facilities all across the country are filled with hungry babies through the summer months. I consider myself a steward of this beautiful planet and all its creatures. I find strength and meaning through experiencing the interconnectedness with all life, and acting on its behalf.

An Awesome Sight
Today I brought home 2 large baskets filled with adult (finally) bluejays and set them free. What a magnificent sight! Most were perfectly happy and eager to soar to heights never before experienced. I watched them take baths in the water bowls I set out. They had spent the most recent part of their lives rather crowded in a playpen with screening on top, so the grassy yard was an open pasture! They loved feeling the sun on their bodies and preened in its warmth until it went over the fence. Then they disappeared to find shelter or a limb for the night. Thank goodness the night's are getting warmer.
