Yes, I am so very sad to say, Scout and Rascal the baby birds have passed away. This morning when I went to the ELC to feed them, I found their poor little bodies lying pitifully in their box. My dad and I took them outside to the flagpole to give them a proper burial. I said some words (just kidding) and my dad dug small holes . We placed them in and marked the grave with a stick. I wrote the first initial of each of their names on top of their graves. I think that their nest was disturbed about a day before we found them, so they were already malnourished and had been without their mother for too long. I wish that I could have saved them, but they were too far gone when Will and I found them. I hope that they rest in peace.
