it wasn't so much to ask you something as to tell you a sad story. had a greenfinch with a bad wing i was looking after as inspired by you. he was basically fine but he used to hide and sit still under bushes and one day he ran under the house so i thought he'd be ok for a bit, i let the dogs outside and went inside to grab something, came back outside and they slain him. i felt pretty bad about it, they kill birds every now and then but this was a cool one and very much alive and it was strange to see him gone like that. already looking out for some new birds tho, some blackbird chicks nesting in a bush right by the back door, the mother bird doesn't even fly away now
