God, I wish I’d read this sooner. As you well know, I am the harbinger of hamster death. I could totally have given you advice.

When I was 14 we took a bird in. All of the other birds left the nest, but that one just couldn’t fly. I felt bad, so I took it in the house. Although they’re small creatures with brains the size of a pin, it was really neat to see the chick grow trust in us and willingly come to us for food.

But alas, it was not to be. The chick couldn’t fly because it was sick, and died a few days later. Nature is sometimes cruel and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, something you really can’t explain to a child. I wish there was a better explanation that that, but there isn’t.

I’m a coward so I am siding with the little white lie. The bird flew away.

Do whatever feels right for you though.
