FIGUEROA Of The Examiner Three of four baby robins adopted by Stroud couple following storm Aug are dead and the couple is heartbroken We developed such an affinity and sen timental attitude for them Fred Ryans told The Examiner Thursday We feel terrible Ryans and his wife Eileen both more than 70 years old rescued the then three weekold birds from the storm when they realized their mother had deserted them The Ryans affectionately referred to the robins as orphans of the storm Anxious to find the best care possible for the orphans the Ryans contacted Gordon Beswetherick well known bird naturalist who lives outside Barrie About three weeks ago Beswetherick agreed to look after the birds Shortly after the Ryans visited the birds but were greeted with sad news The two weakest birds were dead STOPPED EATING We felt terrible said Ryans The poor little things just stopped eating and lost their strength few days later another bird died On subsequent visit to see the remain ing bird the Ryans noticed it was also in failing health We went into Barrie and got some cod liver oil for it said Ryans It needed in stant protein Taking tiny piece of worm Ryans put few drops of the oil on it and fed it to the bird The Ryans and Beswetherick then built the bird nest with wood shavings and paper towels With all that care however Ryans said dont think its going to 33 survive Ryans agrees the birds turn for the worse may have been because they missed the Ryans LIKE CHILDREN Thats not far off the mark said Ryans They are very much like infant children change of voice could terrify them and cause them to stop eating They are very sensitive Mr Beswetherick really did his best for them though said Ryans Hes an awful nice man But mavbe we should have kept the birds until they were stronger We just did what we thought would be best for them but now we feel terrible il Pleose dont eat the daisies Ann et shufer Police were investigating Wednesday the kidnapping of wealthy
