A little guest
When I think of birds a particular crow from Kerala comes to my memory. It was a crow who came flying from far as it was tired and weak. The first time when the bird came to our place my dad fed him water and some food. He started to come regularly and for one month every morning and will be present at a tree near kitchen and will be crowing. We were in Kerala for a month and took care of it during the time period. After we returned back to Delhi we heard that the crow will peck and make a lot of noise if a stranger enters the house. It was a huge surprise to know how a crow became a part of family by taking responsibility to protect the house in our absense.
Today my brother found a little injured bird and he brought the tiny creature home. When he brought the bird it was not moving at all even after we gave water the bird remained still, later my dad came forward and gave the bird water and after few minutes it started moving. Initially, whenever we try to carry the bird in hand it would start crying but after some time it started moving around comfortably in my hand. It is very cute and would be watching and observing everyone very closely.
I don't know how long it would like to live with us but we named it Brownie hoping to have a much longer days ahead.
