Having A Snack With My Tufted Titmouse Buddy

This little guy seemed to bond with me very quickly. He got to where he would come and perch inside the window pane to see if I was in there. He started hanging around a lot and it was obvious he wasn't well.

As if he knew, on the day I was going to take him to the rehabilitator, he didn't return.

I'm comforted by the fact that a few of his friends have followed his lead and are now hand feeding as well.

Rest in piece, little one.

When you love an animal they will trust you, even a wild bird :) Great job caring for this little cutie of the songbirds.

@Silkara78 Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. It was a special time for us. I've got another one this year who's perfectly healthy and just latched onto me. I'll get video up as soon as I can. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel. Jeff

Thank you for sharing this cutie with us! I'm sure he/she appreciated your kindness, and you made their last days very nice. <3 I love birds so much!

@agapelove490 It was my pleasure. My sincerest hope was that I did make his last days comfortable. I feel his spirit in my latest titmouse buddy who's perfectly well but will fly from two yards away to feed from me. I'll be posting this sweetie as soon as I can. Thanks again for visiting my channel and my blog. Jeff

@sowhatprod Absolutely! I just wish it would have turned out better.

@modelcitizen72 I would hope so too. Unfortunately, with him as sick as he was and not returning I'm afraid he didn't make it.

I'm hoping the bird is okay somehow.

Very nice. Thank you

@Legoboy127cp I had read in a hand feeding book that chickadees are the first ones to take you up on your hand feeding offer. To date, titmice are still the quickest to jump at the offer. He was a special little guy and we miss him.
