I thought I'd just let you know Little'Un did pass away.

He did surprise me though. When he was still with me at three o clock this morning I decided to get some sleep and put him in his box on some heat next to me.
I couldn't believe it when I looked this morning and he was resting where I put him. For a moment I hoped I'd got another chance but when I picked him up he was too weak.
Bless him he was sitting in my hands and suddenly a Woodie cooed outside the window, he picked his head up, opened his eyes and gently passed away.

He was a strong brave little soul and I'll miss him.

Janet

What a special bird he turned out to be! I wish that he could have been healed, but he is flying safely now. Thank you for giving him such loving and dedicated care, Janet.

What a beautiful experience for you to have had, Janet--the kind that stays with you for a lifetime. I don't think it was an accident the way Little'Un was sitting in front of the computer last night (and that he was so calm throughout his stay with you), and I don't think it was a coincidence that the Woodie outside came to visit just before he passed.

Although Little'Un's body didn't recover, perhaps his spirit got from you just what it needed.

So sorry Janet. You did an incredible job with him. He knew he was loved and died in peace.

FLY FREE AND HIGH LITTLE ONE

Thank you for your lovely words, I so wish he's made it too.

I felt blessed he waited for me to wake up before he passed and I had the chance to say goodbye.

(You know I sort of thought the Woodie outside called him to let go too).

I just want to thank you all, Pidgey included, for the advice and back up, as always so appreciated.

Fly High Little'Un, free at last.

It is amazing how strong those little babies can be and how attached we get to them while caring for them. You did an amazing job with him. Bless you and bless little 'Un'
