Too many people just thought I was nuts. You didn't get out much when you had a house full of baby birds (the birds were my specialty). I am no longer in Texas, and don't rehab any longer, although I do have a relationship with the rehabber in my area now. It amazed me how many animals came through our hands----thousands a year. Incredible.

And you are right, the animals were rarely thankful. But don't think that I didn't get great pleasure from helping them.
