Time went so so fast from my last visit here. It doesn't mean I haven't been here, just there has been no handworks to show. I think it was needed break in my life and creating just to experience sth totally else. There is a small alive "reason" as the explanation of my not being here for a while.
One day in the very late afternoon in May this year, on the way home my husband brought a small nestling with leg's fracture with displacement. The chick was totally not ready to leave a nest and utterly exhausted. Probably was accidentally fallen out from very high. The feather just started to grow and it was not enough long to fly. We decided fast to take it to the vet, the bird has been so small that easily took a place in a plastic cup from a small joghurt.

At the very beginning I was terrified and had no idea how to help so extramely delicate creature. I used to care only about cats and doggies till that time. But I didn't give up - I couldn not try to help. I opened Internet and looked for some ornithologists and people interested in ornithology, having birds and knowledge how to care about them. I was making notes about every informaiton I found.We had hudge luck, they all kindly helped and answered to my every question and solved our every problem and doubts. I strongly believe that thanks to it Stefcia lives. We are very grateful to them all for every minute spent with us, they helped to us with very wise advices. The bird after 6 days of care:
For luck the vet has been able to help to our small friend and after 3 visits and 1 mouth of care, the broken leg is in one piece. Unfortunatelly it cannot almost move it, but has it and can use as the support. This little invalid goldfinch is our home friend from that time. It is great! I would never think that a bird can become so friendly with people as cats or dogs which usually live with people at home. So our little bird is a goldfinch girl who sings the nicest while listening to running water from the tap. Then sings the most beautiful while sitting on sb's arm.
She is also becoming friendly with our Franek cat:
At the very beginning she has been getting special vitmins, cottage chesse mixture self done for birds only. And when finally could start eating beans, has been getting mixture of goldfinch favourites. Everyday gets beans, fresh water and some fruit or vegetable such as green salad, carrot, tomatoe, red paprika, fresh cucumber, apple, pear, peach, nectarine, watermelon etc. And finally has got a house:
I found in the Internet how to recognize goldfinch male and female, but sth I didn't do well enough cos from expected boy, we have a cute girl!
She has found her favourite place up at home to observations:
Loves singing:
She is very friendly and never sleeps when I am working. Comes and wants to be close to the human most of her time. When I switch down a lamp in the room at the evening, she knows that should go to sleep to her home, and flies there alone, I just go to close the cage. She is lovely all the way, and we don't imagine our life without her!
Even now she is sitting at the monitor side and writes this post:
I hope you enjoyed reading Stefcia's happy story and can forgive to us this little break,
I hope also to be here more often again with decorations self done.
