Baby Bird Discovered at P.E.P

It was an interesting day in the library when I was doing my job putting the iPad's out. Mrs Osborne was turning her P.C on and talking to me and I said "bird, bird!!!"  She said "where?" I said "on the recently returned trolley". She said "catch it". I tried but it was hard but then I finally caught it and then I put it outside in the garden. Ten minutes later Devon came and we saw it jump out of the garden. We told Mrs Osborne and we picked it up and put it near the library door and big windows and we gave it some bird seeds. It was a happy bird after we gave it some bird seeds, it ate a lot and about 20 minutes later the bell rang. At 9:30 we came to Media Team and the bird was gone. I asked Mrs Osborne where did the bird go? she said it flew away with its family.
