Baby Thrushes

In the awesome Term Three holidays we found some little baby Thrushes in a wooden pellet beside my tree hut.
They looked like they were only a few days old. There were four baby Thrushes in the little nest. We looked after the Thrushes for nearly two weeks and the Mother Bird helped too, by feeding them when the cage was open. Matthew and I feed them worms. In the middle of the Term Three holidays my dog Jack killed two of the birds because of the lazy mum who made the nest in the pellet beside the tree hut. The two dead birds were buried beside the tree hut. In the second week of the Term Three holidays the two birds that were left started to fly around the place. Me and Matthew always got pooped on quite a lot. On Saturday both birds had escaped from the cage and they were in the big shed , but we only caught one of them as the other one flew away. The brother kept coming back for his brother though.
After school on Monday we let him go. Me and Matthew were very sad to let him go because we had enjoyed having him as a pet. By Thomas Anderson

  1. they were lucky you rescued them from the dog and cared for them until they could survive on their own.
