When I went to get my hair cut  I heard some baby birds and sure enough in the back there was a cat basket with six little blue tits inside.  Recently a nest in the hairdresser’s garden  had been disturbed and, after noticing that no parents visited to feed the babies for a day, she decided to foster the babies.  Two were found dead on the ground below the nest box so she made a “nest” inside the cat basket and lined it with the remains of the nest for the others.  About every half an hour she feeds the babies with live grubs and other things that she bought from a pet shop.  She also brushes them too!  Shortly she plans to put them outside in a sort of cage where they can stretch their wings before they become independent.
