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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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!

if it couldt fly in the first place then why would lightly toss it? that doesnt make sense to me.

Short list: The OP is made of horrible, senseless, careless, epic fail. If you do take a bird in, you do the research on how to care for it. I've done it numerous times with birds from hummingbirds to red tail hawks and when done properly, they can be released into the wild. Thanks for the thought OP, but next time don't intervene until you can at least drive a car and not throw animals around like beanie babies.

You told your mom it *couldn't* fly, so you threw it into the air to prove that? the stupidity of some of the people on this site astounds me. but poor birdy :3 you shouldn't keep a baby bird anyways, it won't be able to live functionally in the wild when you eventually release it. but your heart was in the right place. but your brain wasn't in place at all...o_O

wow that's retarded. you really think the bird would learn how to fly in your house being taken care of by you? i guess you saw how that turned out.

YDI. Why the hell would you toss it in the air? If the cat hadn't got it, it would've hurt it more by landing on the ground! And a wild animal can't very well survive or be nursed back to health in your own home. Call animal control, moron.
