The Best of Fatherhood

Our mama bluebird was killed two weeks ago.  We found her lifeless body below the bluebird house one morning.  We’re not sure what happened to her, but her remains weren’t pretty.  She left behind 3 naked, scrawny baby bluebirds.  David was immediately worried.  Would the bluebird father be able to raise the babies?
David has been helping the bluebird papa in his efforts to raise his children.  When he sees the papa bluebird, David puts out extra live mealworms (their favorite treat) that he can eat and feed his children.  One evening David climbed onto a lawn chair and dropped live meal worms into the baby bird mouths.  I found it endearing that David was helping the papa bluebird feed the babies.
