Baby Vern Update

How can one teeny tiny bird latch onto so many hearts in such a short time?

I have no idea but baby Vern did.

He would follow you around if let out of his pen and chirp all these various noises depending on what was going on.

Quick chirps and hide under your feet if he was scared.

Loud whiny chirps if he wanted to know where you were.

Incessant chirping if he wanted picked up.

He was love all wrapped up in a little tuft of down.


Rest in peace baby Vern, you left your love on many for the short time you were with us.

Look what I found!

Vern had a great time at his Aunt and Uncle's farm this past weekend.  We went down for our nephew's graduation. I will have more stories on this but wanted to share this story right away as it was so amazing!  Vern was out messing around waiting for his brother to return the 4wheeler when he heard a strange noise and saw something over on the rocks. He ran over to see what it was and it was a teeny tiny bird! It was no more than a few days old. Talk about excited! Who but Vern finds a baby bird at their feet? Come to find out the night before Aunt and Uncle heard some strange noises and wondered what could be making such a racket. Baby was!  This tiny thing made it through the night on its own until Vern found it the afternoon of the following day.  Aunt decided she would try to keep it alive and put it under a chicken light. Baby is now named VERN!  I will try to give you updates as baby Vern grows. Here are some photos of the two Vern's.  The conclusion so far is baby Vern is a wild turkey. I guess we shall see as he grows.



Here are the two Vern's on the farm.

 Here is a close up shot. Baby Vern is F-A-S-T. He LOVES to eat lots of bugs. Isn't he cute?

Here are the two Vern's later that night. Baby was so tired he just curled up in Vern's hand and immediately fell into a deep sleep. I even lifted its head and it stayed asleep.
