Feeding the birds.

Donaven LOVES animals. A trip to the zoo is like paradise for the child. His favorite part of our zoo is the bird walk-a-bout. He loves being so close and getting to feed them. Our last zoo trip just as we walked into the bird area I overheard the lady in front of us in line say that she had got the last stick of bird feed. My heart dropped. Donaven took it pretty well though at first and went about trying to coax the birds to let him hold them. He wasn't having much luck and started to get upset not understanding why everyone else was getting to hold and feed the birds and not him. Just as I was about to take him out promising we would come back and try again a different day, a very nice stranger came over and offered her stick of bird feed to my Donaven. I almost teared up at her generosity. She wouldn't even let me pay her for it.

He was so happy that this little cute fluff ball let him hold him for a bit. It really made his day! Seeing him so joyful made mine...
