Isn't it amazing how quickly you "adopt" them as family and worry about them.....?  Nature can be so cruel.

Aww poor birdie, yes nature is very unforgiving 

I'm sorry.  I know how it feels.

A few years ago I saw a neighbour's kitten in their garden, and thought 'odd, but the door is open, so they must be introducing it to the outside world, under supervision'.

Days later, I found that a visitor had left the door open, the kitten had got out and was later run over on the road.

I felt terrible.

But... all you can do is make a reasoned decision at the time, based on the info you have, at the time - which is exactly what you did.

Have a hug.

Thanks for the hug ? 

I was upset, but James was so upset with himself too. He's ok today... 

Oh I am so very sorry but yes you did the right thing, you know they will desert their own if we humans touch them so you were really in a bind anyway since mama wouldn't have helped him anymore if you did.... Hugs to you both
