I highly recommend the beautiful book “Bird Brains” by Candace Savage. All about the crow family, brilliant.

Thanks, Liz. Nice to know I’m not the only ‘crazy’ one - or at least that’s the way some of the passers-by looked at me (quickly, from the corner of their eye, so I couldn’t meet their gaze!) Good one, Liz.

Such a beautiful story Steve, you’re a lovely warm hearted and kind person. I wasn’t surprised at you saving the moth either. I too stop bo move tiny insects out of harms way, take ants or moths that have captured the attention of one of my cats outside to safety.

I hope that Sarah can eventually be released back into the wild again and can enjoy a new life thanks to your kindness.

That’s wonderful, Denise. Just think of all the little creatures that are alive thanks to your efforts. If only more people would be so kind hearted.

You won’t believe this but just today, I saw an example of just how wonderful and yet how dumb people can be. Walking through my local town, I saw a woman crouched over in the middle of the pavement. It turned out she was taking a photo of something with her phone. As I got closer, I saw it was a huge, beautifully-marked moth.

Her photo taken, she just stood up and walked away, leaving the poor moth there to be crushed under someone’s foot.

I moved it.

I can’t believe that someone can find something so fascinating that they take time out from their day to photograph it and then turn their back on it when it’s obviously in danger. Unbelievable!

Thanks for your kind words about my blog, Denise. They really are appreciated.

Absolutely heartwarming! I remember when I lived in a certain house…it seemed that it was animal rescue central for me, my mother, & my sister. Several stray dogs, a baby squirrel (which thankfully was taken back by his/her mother despite us handling it…well, this one was rescued from my grandparents backyard-in typical fox terrier fashion, one of our dogs had it in his mouth after the poor thing was knocked out of a tree during a bad storm), baby birds that fell out of their nest that my dog (also a fox terrier) rescued (can you believe that?)…

I love reading your blog, Steve-your words are priceless! I’m also so ahppy that you both were there to rescue this poor crow! Now Sarah is having a good life in good care & it started with you & Ania!

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for looking me up. Glad I could keep you enthralled to the end of the post.

And thanks for the link. Just watched the first 5 minutes. Looks very interesting -really - though I don’t know when I’ll find time to watch it. Maybe at the weekend.

Hope your week is going well,
Steve

Hi Steve Readers n Posters … first stop from being blown away at Stephens dtalpha.com/talkback/?p=86 Blog so I was buzzing!!! … Peeked right INTO?

“Global warming is set to be the villain of the 21st century. Unless oil prices bankrupt us all, so we can’t run anything to create the pollution. But is there an upside?”

… For the last couple of weeks my head has been full of the answers to the above statement wow I stumbled out of a trance there … I really got into your story … excellent … normally I would not read such a long post … I checked the length (994 words) … But I wanted to finish it as in the now!.. Usually I would print it off and read after but not here … thanks for that Steve well done… Your offer is also very competitively priced to the orders must be rolling in ….

I have a post and video to share that I came across on a similar very similar vein with yours Steve … I think you will want to watch to the end 150 minutes of video magic … PULLS you right in … so make sure you do the toilet bit … have some drinks handy, nibbles etc … this is a movie! hope you all enjoy a snap shot of what might or might not be …

Shook up my Beliefs anyway … at a certain time in your ageing process it’s a good feeling a feeling that your beliefs have been confirmed? Justified? Whatever? … How free are we?

All my best to you and your beliefs
Phillip Skinner

Thanks, Susan. Yes, it was very time-consuming, but oh so worthwhile. A wonderful experience.

With any luck, Sarah will be released in a few weeks and spend anything up to 10 years living a wonderful life in the wild, just as nature intended.

Loved it! I hope Sarah lives a long and happy life. I’m glad there are still people out there who will give the time to try to help injured wildlife.

Great job.

That’s a great quote, Elaine. If only more people held to such a philosophy - think of the world we could have then. Still, you never know. Maybe ‘awareness’ isn’t just a fad that many are picking up because they want to be fashionable. Maybe those few of us who believe in making a real difference won’t be in the minority for too much longer. Maybe. Let’s hope, huh?

That’s so kind of you to say, Victoria. Thank you. Though such high praise sits a little uncomfortably - I can be just as big a jerk as anyone else! (I can supply testimonials if needed!;-) )

Thanks you guys. Glad you appreciate Sarah’s story. Believe it or not, it did actually fall on some deaf ears!
