Two years ago, this man stumbled across a very sad sight.
He saw a heap on the ground, hardly moving, but then he noticed there was one, vague sign of life among the pile.
A group of sparrow hatchlings had fallen from a high branch. The nest had been about eight feet off of the ground. For birds that young and frail, such a fall can be deadly. Even for a full-grown man, that fall could do some very serious damage.
Unfortunately, almost all of the baby birds didn't survive the fall. They lay there motionless in a heap. However, there was one little bird sitting at the top with a tiny bit of life in him. He happened to have been in the spot where the blow was cushioned by the birdies below.
This man wasn't about to let this little bird die. He took in the teeny sparrow and did the very best he could to nurse him back to health.
He named the little one Sparky, perhaps because of that little spark of life he first saw in him. Now? This bird is one of the best, most curious pets he's ever had.
Just goes to show that you should never give up on life, even the tiniest little sliver of it!
