Sassy on her last day in the nest
If you've seen the previous posts on Phoebe, the Allen's Hummingbird, rearing her babies in her nest in a rose bush in a garden in Orange County, California, you'll know that I've been posting up-dates about the progress of the little chicks, whom I've been viewing via live cam.
They were born on the 2nd and 4th January respectively, and named Stormy and Sassy. Then on the 25th January, little Stormy died, possibly due to hatching prematurely and being very weak.
I posted on the 19th that Sassy was taken to rehab, but I've just found out that she didn't make it and died yesterday.
R.I.P. Sassy.
"Quick as a humming bird is my love, Dipping into the hearts of flowers-- She darts so eagerly, swiftly, sweetly Dipping into the flowers of my heart."

Oh sad news. Knew something was amiss though. Love the poem you chose. May I add it to my journal page?
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, yea, little birds with setbacks rarely make it.Of course you may use the poem - found it on the Phoebe Allen's page on FB.
