Greenfinch in the house... No - really...

Thought I would share this evenings happenings in my garden in Wales...

A few weeks ago, we had a lovely Juvenille Greenfinch in our garden, a few days later I found him/her out in the front garden, dead. Such a shame... That left us thinking, should we have done something..?

This evening, same again, you could literally reach out and touch it, so timid and oblivious...

So...

This is where I hope we have done something right..?

He's currently in our porch, in a cat carrier, with lots of newspaper, branches, seed scattered and a bowl of water. Probably not the happiest environment for the little chap, but nethertheless, he's safe for the night!

The Plan:

Let him out first thing tomorrow, and hope that he would have learnt his lesson, he'll either stay up in the trees, or he'll be back with us tomorrow night until the following day, and so on, and so on...

Cruel --> ? Not sure, is it better to be cruel to be kind?

Love to hear your thoughts on this, and maybe someone else out there is doing similar?

Ross & Traci & boys...

Thanks
