[Dailydrool] Drool

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

As we all know Drool works.  So I am asking for just a tiny bit for  our baby 
Robins today.  They're momma built a nest under our awning on a  light 
fixture right outside our front door.  They were just born on  Saturday and have 
quadrupled in size already! Somehow, maybe from their weight,  the light fixture 
turned this morning and dumped the nest.  One baby was  definitely gone to the 
Rainbow bridge and the other two were still very much  alive but at least one 
needed medical attention.  So after trying to  putting them back in their 
nest and putting their nest in a nearby tree (did I  mention they fell onto the 
concrete patio) I called the local nature  sanctuary.  No Momma or Daddy in 
sight.  So... Apparently due to the  Migratory Bird Act I can't just take them 
anywhere I understand. you need a  licence to rehab them.  So I called the 
correct people and they instructed  me to bring them over since one was visibly 
bleeding from his wing.  These  guys are so young - just 5 days old - one's eyes 
aren't even open yet and they  don't make a sound.  Just open their mouths a 
lot hoping for food.  I  couldn't imagine them suffering so I took the 20 
minute drive to the sanctuary  and put them into the right hands.  Hopefully they 
will be ok and I will be  able to bring them home to their Momma and relocate 
them to the tree.  The  devastating thing is that they've survived 2 severe 
storms and now the darn  light fixture gave way and dumped them.  I'm hoping just 
a drop of good  basset drool will make them both well.
