Nesting Season

I don't particularly enjoy this time of year. It's nesting season over here. Baby birds fall from their nest out of the trees, featherless and blind unable to see. I take all I find back home with me and attempt to save them hopefully. I've researched the method and know the technique for feeding baby birds safely and properly, but every single one always dies on me leaving me crushed as crushed can be. I wish I knew someone who does this professionally.

They say that you shouldn't pick them up, because the parents are so good. They won't be far away and they do their best to care for them. They are more likely to die if a human picks them up. Well, that is what I heard, but you can't help but feel sorry for them. Here in England we had a really hot March, but in April we have had the wettest April on record. I heard this morning that many babies died, and particularly the wetland birds, some of them rare. How sad.
