We have multiple bird and humming bird feeders on the deck and a pair of cardinals that visit frequently. They are so cool to watch feed.

You did you good deed for the year today!

Thank you!

We need more people in the world like you.

Great job Mars, you're a good man!

Can you imagine the chatter when he gets back to his nest... "so all of a sudden I get run over by a car, and when I wake up this human is feeding me inside one of their dwellings, and...."

Mars, I am so impressed by your kindness.
My wife and i try to do similar things when the opportunity arises, but I sure don't have the apparent expertise you have.

Bob

the Cardinal has always, most definitely been my favorite songbird. good on you and happy day for our forum's most recent feathered friend!

I applaud those who takes the time to care for injured wild animals.

We have at least 10 cardinals a day at my feeders. They, along with titmice, chickadees, buntings and woodpeckers, are eating me out of house and home.

That's cool, nice work.

Thank you sir. My wife has quite a few visiting her bird feeders.

Good for you and the bird, not often they get a 2nd chance at life.

That is just a wonderful story! Way to go!

Well done and thank you, I have a fondness for Cardinals.

That was so cool what you did, every life counts.

We have lots of cardinals. My favorite is Baltimore Orioles. Wish you guys could see them feeding on the grape jelly. Have went thru eight 32 oz jars so far.

We get a lot of orioles as well. They start chirping very early.

When I was in Maryland for a couple months at the Edgewood area of the Proving Grounds I saw a male Cardinal fighting with his reflection in a side mirror of an army truck (don't recall the name of the truck, but it had a blade on the front, and a backhoe on the back, but it was on a truck chassis).

Sure was a beautiful red, especially against the white of the snow, and the green of the truck.

Birds are funny like this. Sometimes they die from what appears to be nothing, other times they are tough as a tank.

Years ago I was coming home from a shift at the mill, Saturday if I recall. I hear a big whack on the windshield and assumed I creamed a bird.

Parked the car for the weekend. It was hot that entire weekend........close to triple digits.

Got in the vehicle Monday morning and started my commute to work. Suddenly, danged bird flapping around inside the car. Gave me a heart attack. Stopped in the middle of the road, rolled down the window, and off it went.

Not only had that bird survived me hitting it and it somehow deflected into the vehicle unnoticed, but it then survived the weekend trapped in what basically was an oven for two days.

Thank you Mars for taking the time to help this critter. Every act such as this makes an otherwise dirty world better.

As I like to say, we cannot change the world, but we can change parts of it.

Agreed!

The fact that folks agree means we are not totally lost as a species...........

One of things I enjoy most about watching The Masters is hearing them singing all over the golf course.
