Mary, Secret, & Promise

Meet our newest little friend, Trust (We call her Tru for short) ❤️ Those of you who have also been following along on our secondary account @Marys_Promise already know, but a couple weeks ago Promise found a little newborn bird outside in our front yard. At first we didn’t even think she would make the night, but somehow she made it. The next day we were about to drive her to a wildlife rescue, but after some research on the birds on our porch, we learned just in time that her parents were house sparrows. Shockingly, house sparrows are non-native to the US and are considered a non-releasable invasive species. She would have been euthanized at the wildlife center. The good news is that because she is not protected wildlife there are no laws against raising her ourselves. She is the smartest, sweetest most social little thing, and I can’t bear to think what might have happened to her if Promise hadn’t spotted her.
