Animal saving stories

Good on you squid! I always save bugs, but the other day I was too late to save a christmas beetle.

saved a baby bird and my neighbors dog, gave him a bath, we had his daughter which we bought from our neighbor.

i saved a little lizzard from a spiders web

My friend lives on a property that backs onto a national park. One day after a rarther windy night, we find a baby bat in her backyard on the ground, practically dead.
We took the bat inside and placed him in a shoebox with a stick lying across the top, to encourage him/her to hang upsidown, although at this stage he/she didnt because he too weak.
So we took it in turns to keep a very close eye on this bat, whilst the other rings frantically every number known to find out who can take him in. The ranger finally answers and explains that yes, there was a large clan of bats that flew over the area during the wind the night before, and that he would collect the bat and transport him to a wildlife rehabilitation centre nearby.
By now it had been nearly 3 hrs since we first found him and approximately 30 hours since the bat clan had gone and he was beginning to hang upsidown on the stick. I do hope that the ranger kept his promise

When I was about 4 or 5 I found a butterfly that had a mangled wing and tried to help it by giving it sugar mixed with water XD. DOn't really know what I think I was doing, but I watched over it and was so upset the next day when it died

When i was camping at my uncles farm,rats are usually a problem. When we went there, the "old and careless bunch" decided to drown the rats they managed to trap.
(yes, rats i know most people hate them but, they're still living creatures).
My friend Chase had found a litter of new borns. They were most likely going to die on their own and everyone else wouldve just thrown them heartlessly into the river. So we hid them in our tent and tended to them.

A few days later we forgot to cover them up, and one of the "old and careless bunch" had caused a hulabaloo over "rats and mice" in our tent. And she made my friends THROW them into the river.  They were only little, and couldnt swim. The rapids would've been too much for any baby animal to survive.

As soon as she walked back up we all went into the water to try and find them. There was five out of the litter. And we saved two. And it couldve been three, if i didnt argue with my friend.

well, when i was in primary school there was this young galah that was walking around this one particular tree sqwakin its head off, lookin pretty depressed. I got home and told mum and dad about it and they said that it probably just fell out of the tree and the galah's parents will probs go get it when there aren't any kids around. The next day it was still there. Mum and Dad still wouldn't budge, they were stubborn and thought they were right. Then i noticed the poor thing had an ingured wing. Finally i managed to con mum and dad into letting me take it home. had a few experiments trying to get it to eat, dinner time was really messy, we made it some sort of oat porridge mix thing and fed it to her from a spoon. she would eat it but it was reaqlly funny coz she made these really weird sounds while eating it. eventually she weaned onto seeds and i continued to look after her, she now had a bandage on the wing. I rubbed ointment on the sore on her wing everyday and eventually the sore healed. I taught her to talk and her vocabulary consisted of hello and other words she just picked up like "shut the door" which was quite amusing. One day when i was cleaning out her big bird cage she took off. Me being so young just cried and cried. I had gotten attached to that bird. Couple days later she arrived back at my house, she wasn't ready for the great outdoors yet. So i looked after her for another two weeks before she took off again and never came back.
