This post is especially for Oceanwaves.
As in my post Earth Day Thoughts, oceanwaves enquired about the picture in my slide show of me holding a sparrow. I took that picture along with a series of others from my mobile phone one day in 2010.
A small sparrow that day flew head long into the window where I was working, and I went outside to see what has hit the window at such force. I discovered much to my dismay a small sparrow laying on the ground.. It was out cold, and at first I thought it had broken its neck and was dead.. So lifeless was its small little body as I picked it up..
I held it in my hands for around 5 full minutes as I cupped my hands around its lifeless body.. I sent it Healing, asking the universal energies to revive the little sparrow, Praying that it would be alright..
I felt its move slightly under my hand after at least five minutes,as I could feel a faint heart beat, and removed my cupped hand expecting it to fly away immediately. But to my astonishment it didn’t, it sat there just looking at me, ( probably seeing stars ).. So I was able to take my mobile from my jeans pocket and snap a few pictures in the next five minutes
It sat there in my hand and didn’t seem to want to move, so I gently manoeuvred it to sit upon a small bush.. I had to place its little legs on the branch, and I kept sending healing and kept my hands there for a while as I thought it may well fall off its perch.. But thankfully after another 5 minutes had elapsed it flew off to join its family.
I have wrote a few words here in a Poem I hope you enjoy along with the photo’s
Little Sparrow
Let me hold you as you fall
Little sparrow hear my call
Let me heal your tiny heart
Little Sparrow please don’t depart
Wake up now from slumbered sleep
Let me feel those wings that beat
Let me hear your morning song
Wake up now and fly along
I can feel your tiny heart
Let it heal, let’s make a start
To fly on high with birds on wing
Little Sparrow let me hear you Sing
Hold onto your world top high
Little Sparrow try to fly
I asked for healing as I let you go
As last you fly…..
And my heart does Glow..
Putting the Sparrow back on the bush
Dazed still but ready to fly..

Back in the mist of past times I had stopped for a snack at a wayside cafe and a sparrow flew headlong into the large window knocking itself out. I held it in my hand until it awoke, flew into the tree overhead and sang me a song before going on its merry way. Such synchronicity !
Love
David

Oh, how precious … I had a similar experience with a chickadee the other day … have been feeding them through the winter for a couple of years now … they were so tame and came to eat from food offered from my hand … this year one was landing on my bare foot and peeked at me with his little shiny eyes … Love you, my friend … always have and always will … cat.

Sue, that’s wonderful. Next time you find a bird like that, dip it’s beak into water for a second, or better yet, tip up the bird’s head and open the beak slightly, Put a couple of drops of water in the open beak, when the throat gag reflex cuts in, the bird will become conscious again and revive quickly.
It will shake it’s head if it is not hurt too badly and after a few minutes it will fly away. You can also balance the bird on your finger without any support if possible, —trying out it’s automatic balancing system and it’s effort to stay balanced will help it revive faster too. Last bird I revived was a huge Pileated woodpecker! There’s a post on it on Incoming Bytes.. “:) Blessings to you ~R

When I was a kid I found a sparrow that had been half eaten by a cat and was still alive.
It was ‘way past saving so I killed it as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Needless to say I wept buckets, but no tears could have saved the poor thing…
Love and hugs!

This is a lovely story Sue and reminds me of when I did a similar thing,
only that time was a sparrow that had been glanced by a passing van 😦 I took the sparrow home and held it in my hand, much the same as you are doing in these photographs, and after about fifteen to thirty minutes it eventually flew away and how great that feeling was, to have saved it’s life and given it a second chance with life.
Thank you for offering this one and for sharing your own adventure, for without yours and my intervention these sparrows would have most definitely have died. I have saved a number of hedgehogs from the crows and a dove that was attacked by a cat too, and I would do it all over again if need be as our wildlife is precious 🙂 Have a delightfully enjoyable rest of weekend Sue you are a true diamond 🙂 🙂

I once saw a picture in a catalogue of a birdcage without bars! Instead, it contained string “bars.” The theory was that small birds would not try to fly through. So I bought it. My tiny finches were settled in the no-bar birdcage, when suddenly we spied one flying through the air. We found a small red one in the pantry. And a yellow one in our bed.
I noticed the catalogue no longer features this model bird cage!
