All you need in a heat wave is a pine tree
Because of the crazy (now four) days of heat, I've been releasing all the birds, so that they can manage their own needs, and won't ever possibly be trapped without water. The Silkies move no more than 4 feet, piling up under the pine tree they're under anyway. Some of them are panting, and some hold their feet wide and wings out flat like airplanes for a draft under their wings, but they've been just fine. There's a stiff breeze, and under the pine tree, it's quite cool. All they need is for the drinks to keep coming.

He ran outside to retrieve the little bird and had to cut it free from where it had got its foot tangled and been suspended. It looked awful. One leg was stretched out straight and unnaturally. Prepared to tape it up with electrical tape, I palpated the little bird bones all the way from heel to hip but didn't find any obvious breaks.
