our “pet” arctic tern
This summer my sons adopted an abandoned tern chick they found. We kept it in the back yard in their old playhouse for about 2 weeks, (taking it out and letting it hop around the yard several times a day) went and caught tiny fish for it in the ponds around our area and enjoyed watching it grow, and learn to use its wings. One morning instead of just flying a few feet, it disappeared over the hedge and hopefully found its way to the sea nearby. It was sorely missed.
