The Christmas Spirit - A Bird Story The following story appeared last year in a newsletter from Fur-Bearer
Defenders, a wonderful organization dedicated to ending the cruel animal
trapping trade:
Each time Roy Ivor placed the tiny crippled bird on the floor, she toppled over. In the bird bath, she fell over into the water. Then Roy Ivor did a remarkable thing.
He took a tiny piece of sturdy material, some cotton batten, and some thread and a needle. Then he proceeded to make the tiniest pair of sandals you could ever imagine.
When he finished he very carefully pushed the little bird's crooked toes through the sandals' toe holes. He filled up the gaps with soft cotton batten and fitted them securely around the baby bird's ankles.
Then a wonderful thing happened. For the first time in her life, the little bird stood up on her own two feet.
She gazed at Roy with bright adoring eyes, and from then on followed this wonderful man faithfully everywhere.
Just before Christmas, when Roy was 99, she died.
"Such a quiet hush that day throughout the forest." But by Christmas, the woods once again rang out with the song of wild birds, free and beautiful. An entirely appropriate tribute to this brilliant and dedicated "friend."
