That poor baby did nothing to deserve death, and all Matt did was love and help a creature that would have died without him.
I did that with a fledgling scrub jay. She had been kicked out of the nest, I assume, because her feet were deformed. My hubby found her in our backyard. We raised her and kept her in a very BIG cage because she was unreleasable. She was a happy birdie who learned to perch in her own way, loved to eat blackberries (and slugs! yuck), and even danced when she liked the music we played for her. She lived with us for almost 20 years, longer than they live on average in the wild. We hurt no one.
I always knew, though, that if anyone ever reported us, Fish & Game would take her. And they would have euthanized her. The law is fucking evil about this!
