Two baby birds barely bigger than a ball of feathers have been reunited with their parents in a brand new home after they were rescued smoky and singed from their fiery nest in Musquodoboit Harbour, N.S., two weeks ago.
The reunion was a collaborative effort between firefighters, the Hope for Wildlife rescue organization, Nova Scotia Power and the Department of Natural Resources.
The fluffballs' misadventure was likely sparked by an unlikely culprit their parents.
