Birdie

Yesterday afternoon as I was taking my bike about to head out to the VV Boutique (value village) to buy a pair of overalls for a photoshoot that I am planning on taking, when I almost ran over a lil birdie. It appeared he had fallen high from his nest, and was petrified sitting there waiting for mama bird or someone to come save him.
After building his designer home with soft fabric inside and twigs, it took a while to convince him to get in there. When I got back from softball practice he was all snuggled up inside, which was perfect for me to close the box and hang the house in the tree. Unfortunately for him it was so windy last night, I thought he was gonna get thrown out! But the little guy snuggled up in his blanket and held real tight. He tried flying away today but mama and papa bird are feeding him and encouraging him to keep flying!

Heres the little guy. I call him Peep-Squeak.



I was quite afraid that Peep-Squeak would get eaten by a cat or a crow so I decided to make it my mission to build him a nest. Here's my crafty result. Nothing says birdhouse like Juicy Couture right?





Here are other adorable birdhouses I found on etsy. I wasn't quite as crafty as these artists.

Anyone know what I should be feeding birds? So far Peep-Squeak almost choked on a piece of bread...I won't be feeding him that anymore.
