I said in another thread: I don't want any more pets. I don't wanna go through the same suffering I did with my doggie. Yeah? I did.
About a month ago, we discovered a chingolos' (a sparrow-like bird) nest in the terrace. I had a bad feeling about it.
Two weeks ago, I heard a huge noise in the backyard, and I saw one of the babybirds that was in the nest on the floor, unmoving. I'd seen it being chased by another chingolo. Later in the afternoon, it was walking around the backyard and we could see its back was covered in blood. That horrible older sparrow must have attacked it. (Later we discovered that all its back was scarred). After I consulted it with the vet, I decided to put it back in the nest, hoping it could survive its wounds. An hour later, he was back in the backyard: Its parents had left the nest, though I used gloves. We took it in for the night. The other day my mother took it to the vet and she said it was about to die of hunger. During the last 15 days it was around my backyard, starting to fly slowly, and being fed by us because it won't do it by itself. But all the other chingolos that came down attacked it. Nonetheless, it wanted to follow them.
This morning it climbed up the stairs to the terrace. Trying to stop it, I cut its way with a broom, but because of that he finally managed to fly to the roof. It started walking around the neighbors' roofs and finally jumped to a tree. I was so afraid because it can barely fly and barely eat by itself, and all the other chingolos attack it because it asks them for food. It walked around, savagely crying for food, while my mother was pleading it to get down.
A couple hours after that, we heard another riot. And after that, the crying stopped. My mother saw a calandria (another local bird, but bigger) carrying something over the roof and pecking it. She scared it out of there, but when I went to see, I saw a calandria carrying what it seemed like a blood red fruit in its beak. There are no red fruit around, I think.....So I can only think of the worst. Maybe we heard a fight and it escaped far away, but.....I'm sure the worst happened. :cry: We didn't want to keep it as pet, we just wanted to protect it until it could grew, but....I told her the only solution was to put it in a bird cage, but she didn't want....No matter all we did, we couldn't save it...again..... :cry:
I hate those fucking birds!!!!!!!!!! I used to love birds, but they do that to their own children!!!!! I remember in my last unpaid hospital, how doves used to fight to death with each other, these creeps kill their own kind, they leave their children to starve....
I used to hate hurting animals but I swear, if I see that calandria again, I'll stone it!!!!!!
