Save the birds

After returning from a couple hours of errands, I walked down stairs to a variety of very loud bird callings. My first thought was, who the heck left their electronic toy on for 3 hours! Once in Lukes room I saw two baby quial running frantically around his window sill, and a momma quail trying unsuccessfully to rescue them. So our mission began.
Maggie and Moms Mission Plans
1. Place a shovel down the window sill to pick them up. NOPE!
2. Throw strawberries down to feed them in hopes that they would trust us and climb onto the shovel. NOPE!
3. Slope planks of wood down the sill for the birds to climb up! NOPE!
(in my defense, in all of Steves "storage" I could not find a piece of wood long enough)
4. An old childrens pop up tent was the WINNER, and the babies were reunited with Mom.
Through out the whole ordeal Mommy Quail was none to happy with us. At one point she even buzzed the top of Maggies head.
