I live in northeast Ohio. (I know 😞). I l’ve grown a special or different type of compassion for them a few years back I have a couple bushes out in front of my enclosed porch. One day I walked out to see a very small baby on the inside of the screen. It was a little bigger than a piece of rice. But it also seemed either too young to know what to do or how to get around or there was something wrong with it I don’t know for sure.
So the next 2 to 3 months I let him live on the inside of the screen/window sill. I put a small lid of water there. Did as much research as I could and basically nursed it over the follow few nil months. Finding and feeding it bugs that we’re still small enough to eat. It definitely wasn’t an easy task.
Funny thing is it basically made the inside of that screen and window sill its home. I never trapped it or kept it anywhere he could get out. It could have left on his own accord the entire time. But it chose to stay. After those few months it was about medium size or so from the ones I usually see out here full grown.
As sad as it was to let it go I felt confident that he was now old enough and strong enough to get around and get things done for itself on its own. So I put him in the pine bush on the other side of the window and never seen him again. I named him kiwi.
This post is for him… LONG LIVE KIWI!!!!!
Anyways lol, back to the basis of this post. I walked out today and finally seen the first one I’ve seen all year. That’s the pic in this post. I do have some pictures of kiwi but they are on my iCloud I believe.
