Red Cardinals....have known them to be spiritual animals that have been a blessing in terms of communicating with us humans. God speed.
"This morning I was about to let my dogs out and I saw a cardinal in the driveway. I thought, 'I better shoo it away before Luna and Geno run out there,' so I walked out and had no luck getting him to fly away.
'Do I pick him up and move him?' Well, I went for it and he hopped on my hand (!!!!) and just sat there. He didn’t seem hurt. He was moving his head and repositioning himself on my hand. He was literally sitting there and wouldn’t fly away. Well, he hung out with me for about an hour while I waited for a near bird rescue location to open so I could call (which was an hour and a half away from me).
Once I called and described the situation and the bird’s behavior, the woman said it was likely that he was hit by a car or maybe flew into something, causing a concussion. She suggested I put him in a dark box in a quiet place for a couple of hours to let him rest. She said to then take him back outside and try to help him fly away.
Well, I did just that. I let him rest in a box for about 2 hours and then took him outside to see if he was feeling any better. Here are some pictures to enjoy. I sure did."
