Spring is known for the season of blooming flowers, cool winds and stage of harvesting of wheat crops (Pakistan's largest food crop). After the conclusion of winter season from mid of the February spring (Bahaar) starts by welcoming all kinds of flowers in gardens, for most of people spring is an adorable season. We also hear poetries in this season, recalling a song on my mind in which a female lover requesting to spring season in this way “O Spring season, please fill that environment with the fragrance of many flowers, My Lover is coming back to his native land, from a foreign country." During that season Bird lays eggs in their nests, sing in sweet voices which attract everyone towards their beauty, according to a scientific research in most birds there is an organ named syrinx in the lower part of neck called sound box which helps to make voice sweet and attractive like a melody.

In the last week, last Sunday of February, late morning when the needle of wall clock crossed the number ten, I woke up from deep sleep, some rays of sunlight entering in my room from East side's window; I came out from my bedroom and went to side of the water Tank (A square shaped water storage place). The blue sky is shining with sun, as Sun announcing I’m raised from past many hours.

I had heard some voices of Birds, but they were away from my eyesight, i tried to search them but from my four sides they weren't present. When I was washing my face with a face wash there is a slow feared voice of a little bird caught by my sense of hearing. It’s like a so little new born baby bird crying in her own natural tone and calling her Mother as Chuun Chuun Chuun...

First I gathered some conscious, and followed the voice of Bird Suddenly I saw a small bird falling down in the water filled bathtub, The small bird sinks, moving his little wings and struggling and trying to escape from it, but it is so small in size and baby bird is about to die in the water I got shocked and felt sorry for him. Lots of unanswered questions passes through my mind in a moment why that bird is here in the water? Where is mother? Where is the nest etc etc....?

Very quickly I picked up bird in my hands, bird is shivering and taking long breaths some water entered in lungs through mouth, I remembered many days ago my Ami said hands of humans are poisonous for little birds so whenever you take it use any piece of cloth. I had taken a piece of cloth and picked up bird in cloth then slowly kept down on the floor in the presence of sun light. It's a sparrow bird, after 10 minutes I felt the bird is feeling better. Her wet wings are now dry and Breath is also normal. Now the problem is that how can we search her mother? Where is the nest? How can we approach? I ask from my siblings, but they were unaware about it. Then my elder sister said "Give me that small bird, l and my husband will take care of it in my home”.  I said “Yes!  But please try to find his nest first because Bird needs her Mother”. During 15 minutes, my cousin's mother passing through our home. She is going outside the home because of her own work. She looked at us and in a seconds she asked " why that little bird lying on floor?” I told her story without a break. She said:  “I think I know where her mother is. There is a nest beside my home in a branch of Neem tree. The birds are shouting since morning and there is a group of Birds also, I was thinking that why they are shouting in long voice on the nest. Now I understand they all are mourning because their baby is missing from nest, every day in the early morning Birds goes out from nest to other places for food, they use their beak to carry babies, so it is possible when they fly upon your home that little bird may be fell down due to heavy winds or could be any other reason.

I feel glad to know this, and said to her, please Help her and quickly I handover her that Bird breathing in cloth, she took it and gone back to her home, I was following her footsteps, When We both Me and my Aunty reached at beside the Neem tree the nest is empty, she picked up bird from cloth and kept it inside the empty nest. At one glance I saw the mother of Bird with a group of sparrow's flying over the tree, Mother Sparrow looks happy by touching that small bird again and again, sometime with beak and sometime with wings. Her behavior was telling that she almost lost her baby and has no much expectations of her safe recovery. It seems her baby also telling her how she got afraid and hungry when mother is far away from her. Aunty said to me: Dear Maham daughter, well done! You succeed to save a bird's life, and you helped a Mother to find her new born baby, I said No Dear Aunty, its none of me. New Life is a Miracle of God. All credit goes to Allah Almighty for blessed a little bird with new life.
