In the summer of 2014, Susan Hickman was out for a stroll when she noticed something. She saw an eggshell that was cracked on the ground.
For some reason, Susan opted to stop and look into the building rather than continue.
And much to her shock, there was!
Susan peered inside and discovered a young chick. His eyes were closed, and he lacked feathers.
Susan searched the area for a nest but was unsuccessful in doing so.
Susan decided to attempt to save the chick since she realized that if she left him there, he wouldn’t live on his own.
However, raising a baby bird is not simple. Susan had to feed the bird for the first two weeks, every 20 to 30 minutes, from sunrise to sunset.
Susan didn’t give up despite the laborious process. She used a little medication dropper to ensure the chick got the nutrition he needed because she had a close connection with him.
The bird fought great and made it through the first day.
Also, the following day.
She quickly gave him the name Klinger.
His eyes were now open.
Getting feathers…
Eventually, he developed into a large, regal bird.
How about that for a change?
