I think I'm a hero..

Yeah.... I'm a hero to a baby bird. It couldn't fly yet and had fallen out of its nest I went over seeing it not fly away like they normally do, and he/she immediatly did try getting away from me and he fell under some iron bars, trapping him. I can't really explain what they look like, but there is another bar attached to that one, and about ten feet under that is ground. So I volunteered to go down once I got some people from the church to help me lift the bars. I'd kill myself if I did it alone, and of course when I tried going to the school before the church they didn't care. This is what they said.

"It's just an animal. Its okay if it dies, I don't want people to touch it." That made me really pissed off, for someone to say that. So yeah I left the school despite the teacher yelling for me to come back, I didn't care school was out, they don't have control over me. So once I got a couple members of the church to lift the bars, I took a chair to stand on and my tennis racket case and got the baby bird in there.

So once my friend's father said he'd drive me the bird didn't wake up on the way to the vet which was about a ten to fifteen minute drive, I stayed quiet, but I was worried about the baby afraid it was dead, and then I saw it blink five minutes away from the vet I was so relieved. So at the vet we gave the baby to them, they said he'd be fine, he had a broken leg, but they'd give him to a bird rescue. They didn't charge me either, probably because I'm only 12.

While I was there I met a man who got his cat cremated and was getting this other tabby kitty, the cat was so kind, and calm. I wanted to take her but my dad would say no. TT' So yeah I wanted to share that, see if anybody thought what I did was good, since my school doesn't care.

That was very nice of you to save the bird. I once saved a bird but he died.

We just brought him/her in today when we found him/her. They said it should be fine. It was a sparrow.

I wouldn't call you a hero. Since you did what everyone should be like... But then those that torture animals wouldn't have a word to describe them, since "inhumane" wouldn't work.

But then again, was it good? There's natural selection and all that perspective... So far the out of nest part goes might be debatable but iron bars would have simply been cruel. Either way you were a very good person to not listen to others and keep your goal till you saved a life.

You acted right. But, true heroes never admit to be ones...

i love birds and i think that was a very thoughtful thing for you to do,i used to have an avairy and lots of baby birds fell out of there nests!i took them back into their nests though ,but with them being in a avairy thery were safe from cats ect

ages ago when i was 7 i took a baby bird into school that i found and layed it on my jumper .the teacher didnt know it was there! sadly it died .it looked quite crushed (sorry for my expressions)and had probly been in a car accident.

What you did was noble, ChocoKitten.

I remember one time when I was with my family visiting my grandparents' farm, I found a small hawk or a falcon (I can't remember which one it was) lying on the ground. It looked like it was dead, but it was actually alive, so we took it to a place where this old woman took care of lost or injured animals. I'm sure the small hawk or falcon lived (or is still living) a good life after that.
