Unlucky Morning
This morning I went to Buloh Blang Ara to buy coffee bean from supplier. I haven't sold any coffee bean for 3 weeks since the price is higher. With fully expectation that I could get the best price of Robusta coffee bean to sale today so then I went there by motor bike with 2 rattan buckets attached on the back. I went to shop to take money, actually I have been working for her and her husband for 3 years, so I will eventually sale the coffee to them. If you want to see how my motor bike with 2 rattan buckets look like you can see it on her post: https://steemit.com/esteem/@steemitnatural/jak-mita-raseuki-7d173fc6be164. I didn't realize that she took photo of my motorbike. I drove slowly because the traffic was crowded and all drivers were in hurry for their own business. I had appointment with the broker to check and buy his coffee bean. I chose to take alternative road instead of main road to avoid the traffic jam. I arrived at meeting point 30 minutes earlier. I waited for him at one of small shop.
The coffee contain to many black rotten coffee beans, I could buy similar quality with cheaper price
30 minutes later, he arrived at meeting point, I wasted no time to check the coffee bean immediately, and I found it under requested quality, therefore I rejected it. I can't sale the substandard quality with the offering price. He was unhappy, he tried to confront and argue with me, but I insisted to reject to coffee bean, because I realized that if I take that coffee I couldn't sale it with profit. I did not want to spend my time arguing thing without any profitable result. I have explained the reason which makes him really upset on me. Finally, I helped him to load his truck with that coffee again. I went back through the same alternative road. I was disappointed, I wasted my time going there for 1.5 hours and I had to go back without filling my bucket, it means I have nothing to bring home. I stopped beneath the shade of tree, I set there and parked my motor bike.
Blessing Noon
While I was taking rest, suddenly I saw one little bird was flying toward me, but it seem it wasn't able to fly higher and stop in the middle of the street. Then I stepped closer to the check and I found that the bird is still a nestling, that is why it couldn't fly. I took it from the middle of the street, it seem it was so thirsty, and then I gave it little drop of water. While I was giving the cheeper drops of water, I heard another sound under the bushes. The same little chirping, I checked it and I found another little one just similar to the first i took on the street. But this one even worst, it was bitten by ants. I took it and save it from the ants. I was confuse, should I take them home, or leave it in the wild. Probably they wouldn't survive to see next morning sunshine. I knew this kind of finch birds cannot find and eat food by themselves. I decided to help them and bring them home. I had experience rise up same little bird before. Finally I decided to take them home. I put the into my basket and protected them with sack from the sun and drove back home after I gave a few drops of my mineral water. This kind of finch is actually wide spread in Aceh especially around rice field. They eat rice and seeds, the one I found is
White-rumped Munia (Lonchura striata ,Linnaeus, 1766) check this link for more info : http://www.agrobisnisinfo.com/2016/11/macam-macam-jenis-burung-pipit-bondol.html. I am so blessing finding and adopt these beautiful little nestlings.
New Home
I checked those two little creature regularly along the way home, I hope that I could make them new home. First thing I did when I arrive home is feeding them immediately with rice soaking in the water. and make them new nest. My children were very excited and happy to have them as our new family member. I guessed that those two little creature were forced to fly away from their nest by something, It could be predator such snakes, or cat, because it close to local villagers dormitory. I have made new nest for them, and keep them safe. I hope that they will like to stay with us for next few weeks until someday they are able to make one for themselves.
They look tired and need to get rest soon
I am really happy to adopt them and I feel that I am blessing, even I don't make any money today. Perhaps, it is the substitute of getting coffee bean, because the happiness may come from many things, not only money. I will rise them up until they can eat and feed themselves and lets them fly away when they can, and find their own home.
If you find nestling like that and you choose to rise them up, you need to know what their food are, and how to feed them correctly. For the finch bird you must give them seeds soaking into the water for 5 minute before you feed them, and be careful with their nose holes when you give them water, because it can be easily filled up by water, so give little drop of water using small straw. The best way you feed them is only let them swallow it by themselves. Their beak still weak and easy to be broken when you push the seeds into their throat, so do not do it. You must be very patient if you take that responsibility. Wish me luck to rise them!
I would like to give them names, but I love to hear your suggestion on comments section. Would you suggest me the name for them, please?
Best Regards
