Sparrow Caught - Sparrow Freed, Unharmed

Just as I was opening the patio door so the kits could go outside and run this afternoon, I thought, "Well, at least they didn't catch and kill anything on my birthday." As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I was sorry, because Lovey and Banichi don't kill often. So, of course, as I turned back, I heard a squeak and Lovey raced by me with a bird in her mouth. It was a young sparrow - scared, but unhurt. I took it from Lovey, double-checked it for harm, and released it outside. Both kits have been searching the apartment high and low for the bird, but it's outside, living its' life. That makes me happy.
