Adventure of the Wild Sarawakian Eps 2
*Ring Ring*
Me: Hello?
WS: Hey
Me: Yes, how can I help you?
WS: Ask you ar, do you know where to get a cheap incubator?
Me: *Laughed* Why? You have premature baby?
Turned out that he was worried about two eggs in the nest in the garden of his workplace. As he was closing the door, for some unknown reasons, the mother bird flew past him and into his office and smacked into the front glass door, leaving discharges over a couple of places.
He panicked. "OMG, she died!" Fortunately, that wasn't the case. In fact, later, she was upright again but staring at him wearily. I on the other hand, tried searching for a vet nearby for him to phone (I was still at work) but in the end, he called SPCA.
WS: OMG I think the mother bird died!
SPCA: Calm down, WS. Are you hurt?
Ok, I made that up but the way things went, he was panicking more than the bird lol. After exchange some information, SPCA adviced him to observe for a while. The bird could just be in shock to move and not injured. If not, SPCA would send someone down to look at her. I'm impressed.
Fortunately, she flew away but he was worried the eggs were not getting the required warmth from the bird. SPCA assured him that it was alright for the eggs to be without the bird overnight. Next day, she was back :-)
I laughed at this incident and will forever remember the first few lines of the tele-conversation but at the same time was quite touched that he was genuinely concerned over the welfare of the bird and her eggs. Way to go, WS!
