Redditor Shares How She Tried To Be A Hero And Reunite A Baby Bird With Its Mother Only For It To Backfire With A Bee Waiting To Reward Her

Plovers, sometimes known as masked lapwings, are somewhat large birds with long, rusty-colored legs and prominent, yellow facial wattles. They can be found almost everywhere in Australia, especially on the edges of lakes and in big grassy regions, especially those that have been turned into pasture or parkland.

For biologists, observing a plover chick's day can be both fascinating and horrifying. A Piping Plover chick, which resembles a fluffy cotton ball, is arguably one of the loveliest little animals.

The plover chicks can start moving about and feeding themselves an hour after they hatch. The day-old birds can frequently be seen foraging along the wrack line while avoiding towels, umbrellas, and dozing sunbathers.

It's anticipated that the majority of these birds will make it through their adolescent experiences and join their parents when they fly south for the winter at the end of the summer. Meet Redditor u/LeMetalSmurf, who shared her TIFU plover chick story on Reddit.

She was trying to save them from being on the main road where there was a lot of traffic. There were two families of plovers, and the OP managed to get most of the chicks off the road despite the protests of their four parents.

Unfortunately, she handed them to the wrong plover mom, who was out for blood. She tried her best to stop that from happening, only for a bee to await her return.
