      Thanks mj.
      He (She?) and six baby birds and an egg are orphan.
      Their mother became missing when incubation period.
      She may have been killed by a cat.
      Therefore I tried artificial incubation.
      I blogged about it (in Japanese).

      So cool, looks like he (or she) is waking up from a very sweaty dream. I liked it so much I used it on my writing blog in a post about writing stories

      His first words were probably:

      "You guys won't believe this but I dreamt I was in an egg and couldn't get out it was so... what? I just got born? OH, that's weird cuz... yeah, I didn't know that. Ok, that makes sense, I guess. So you're saying it was *not* a dream? I see."

      I love the photo. It fits with an entry in my noncommercial blog, WillSpirit.com, so I copied it from your collection in CreativeCommons. The image will link back to your photostream (though to avoid clutter I don't use the exact formatting that CC suggests). Let me know if you object to my use of your photograph, and I'll remove it. Otherwise, thank you!
