This pattern comes in the full range of sizes...baby, child, and juniors! I recently found out I fit juniors sizes now, I might just need to make myself one....

A few weeks ago, my mom found a tiny baby bird on the ground, his parents were flying around going nuts. She couldn't find his nest, so she gave him to some good friends to care for.

He's getting much bigger and his feathers are starting to come in, and he is completely comfortable with people!

He's just so cute! But also.....yes we had four adults, a teen, and two boys all making sure baby bird was safe from the ravages of Baby Bug!
