How are all of you such simple minded? Did anyone consider that the bird ran away because it doesn't know that the people want to help it? The bird is just as scared of the large birds as the two gargantuan (in its perspective) creatures running towards it. The storm drain is what the bird considers to be safer. Sorry it didn't want to run up into your hands and say "oh thank you so very much I had the heeby jeebies!" like you see on ******* Nickelodeon Jr. Welcome to the real world.

That's funny. Lol!

It didn't run to you for protection. Do you think the bird understands you're shooing the black birds and not him too? It just freaked out, flew in a random direction in its panic, and killed itself. It's sad, but it's nature. You're a kind person, for having intervened. Unfortunately, the truth is that the baby bird would have survived if not for your intervention (black birds are not carnivorous and the bullying wouldn't have ended in death), but you couldn't have know the baby bird would throw itself in the hole. You had the best intentions. It's Darwin... It's not your fault. But you might want to work on your reflexes, with luck next time you can stop the birdie before it reaches the drain in case something similar happens again. I saved one recently too. (Not from other birds, from having been left by her mother while too small/must have fallen off a nest nowhere to be found/ bouncing on the ground alone in a place full of cats.) Just grabbed her with my hand before she had the time to freak out and fly into some dumb place, and took her home. It took days of her pooping all over my stuff until she could fly properly and I could release her in the woods. :X

First of all, you're an idiot to say it ran to you for protection. What makes you think a sparrow, even better, a BABY sparrow with almost no brain, can think, "OMG THESE HUGE THINGS ARE GOING TO SAVE ME NOT KILL ME." You should go back to school. Obviously your brain is smaller than the sparrows.

HEY, bitches! Learn to be nice. Okay?

errrmm, im with number 17 on this xD i lolled DX

I LOL'd at 64 - BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

#7: Actually, that's not true. Birds, unlike mammals, don't rely much on their sense of smell. So it's usually okay to handle a baby bird without worrying that the mother will abandon it. But yeah, this FML is...really sad. Poor bird.

My baby bitrd flew away an got attacked by a bunch of birds once.. but i rescued him. It was probably ****** anyway, being so young he prob would have died of stress unless he was tame

Poor baby bird At least you tried
