Today, my brother and I found a little bird that couldn't fly. While trying to convince my mom that it couldn't fly so we could keep it, I lightly tossed it in the air and it landed a few feet in front of me. Then my cat grabbed it and ate it. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found a tiny, featherless baby bird. I knew it was impossible, but I tried to keep it alive through the day. Before I could get it to the wildlife center, it died, and when I got all choked up over it, my mom started laughing at me and saying how "weak" I was. FML
Today, I saved a bird from being run over as it lay in the middle of the road. Thinking it had a broken wing or something, I started carrying it home, intending to take it to the vet later. It crapped in my hand and flew away. FML
Today, I witnessed the beautiful sight of a tiny baby bird struggling to take flight from its nest. "You can do it," I muttered, which I guess my asswipe of a cat heard as "Quick, go kill that bird and scar me for life, please." FML
Today, after we finished making my 6 year-old daughter a net to catch an injured baby bird, when she went out to catch it she witnessed a stray cat catch and eat it. FML
Today, I was caring for a bird that had flown into my window. I thought the poor thing wouldn't make it, when it shit in my hand, flew into my neck, then around my living room for ages before I could manage to get it out of the window. FML
Today, I watched a cat pounce on a small bird and rip it to shreds, feather by feather. It wouldn't have been any worse than mildly disturbing, had I not just spent the last 4 weeks nursing the bird back to health from a broken wing. FML
Today, I got a new cat for my birthday. It ate my bird right when we got home, then it ran away. FML
Today, I was woken up by a bird screaming its guts out. My cat had somehow managed to catch a bird and bring it inside. My 9 a.m. morning began with trying to catch a bird in my own home. FML
Today, I killed a pigeon. It choked to death on a piece of bread I threw its way. FML
Today, a robin flew into my window and died. My mom, being a biology teacher, thought it would be a great experience for my brother and me to dissect it on the kitchen table. She threatened to ground us if we didn't do it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

it probably died after you "lightly tossed" the damn thing. birds are fragile, you can't just throw them.

What the hell you doing throwing the poor thing?? It would have probably died of shock if your cat hadn't got at it!

What that's not true? Sorry to say but you release scents that the mother bird picks up on. How about you try a little experiment before calling people idiots. Most animals won't take back their young if humans have touched them.

No that's a myth - but a damn good way to keep people from meddling with nature. Poor little thing was doomed anyways.

62 - No, it's not true at all. Look things up on Snopes.com before you go believing ridiculous things. Not to mention that birds don't have a sense of smell worth crap.

#62, voultures are the only known birds that can smell. I doubt that anyone would be able to touch a voulture baby, anyway. Don't test my bird knowledge, I will win. =)

Lol #113. I know exatly what you are saying and BTW, swans have really sharp beaks, so be really careful if you ever try that.

Lol. I can't wait for some idiot to say "If you touch a baby bird, the mother can smell you and will abandon it." I

Why would you throw it if it coudn't fly?

That's horrible. A bird is not a human.

Yeah, they often die! And besides the point, what on earth was the OP doing throwing a bird around while a cat was in the vicinity?

Thank you!! Okay, you went a bit too far with the insults, but I do see so many people coming in where I volunteer (wildlife rescue center) with wild animals that they've found injured or ill, kept and tried to look after and made it worse. They've then had to bring it in as it's gotten worse and more often than not, if they had brought it in straight away, if could have gotten the right treatment asap and been fine and be released soon afterwards. But because they've had it for a day or two, it just progresses towards more pain and often death. It does make me sad to see these poor animals suffer, but I know people don't mean to make it worse, they just want to do something that helps. Which is where I can see the OP coming from. Until her tried helping it fly while a cat was around! Lack of common sense or what?

Dude thats ****** up. Reminds of PETA comparing the holocaust to chicken processing farms. And no he doesn't deserve it, it's not his fault his cat ate the bird.

Yes it is.

birds are light and even if it can't fly it will most likely land okay, unless there's a cat, lol.
