We found a baby bird in the yard. I’m not sure where it came from but we put it in some old Easter baskets for shade and propped it up on the porch.

We used a second basket as a shade and a wind block, the candles were just to weight it down. My youngest one kept catching love bugs and feeding them to the bird. I eventually fed it wet dog food (as the website I checked suggested) but told the kids that it’s not likely to survive.
Next morning they ran to check, but it had died in the night. The kids took it hard but felt a little better after giving it a name and burying it.
They named it Carlos.
