Susan almost kept going, but for some reason, she decided to stop and see if there was anything inside.
And to her surprise, there was!
When she looked inside, Susan found a newborn chick inside. He didn’t have any feathers and his eyes were closed.
Susan looked around to see if there was a nest nearby but couldn’t find one.
Susan knew that if she left the chick there, he wouldn’t survive alone, so she decided to try to save him.
Taking care of a baby bird isn’t easy, though. For the first two weeks, Susan had to feed the bird every 20-30 minutes from sunrise to sunset.

The bird was a real fighter, and managed to survive the first day…
… And the next day, too.
Susan soon named him Klinger.
He opened his eyes.
He got feathers…
He got feathers…
… and eventually, he grew into a large, stately bird.
Talk about a transformation!
During his recovery, Klinger became an essential part of the family.
He got lots of love and care and in return, he brought joy into Susan’s life.
Isn’t it wonderful that Susan spotted Klinger and was able to save him! Share if this lovely story moved you, too!
