Woman Rescues Baby Squirrel And He Refuses To Leave Her Side

Given its location, my parents have quite a few orange and avocado trees on their property which meant that we never had to buy either avocados or oranges – something I sorely miss whenever I head to the grocery store these days. But it wasn’t just my family that enjoyed the avocado and orange trees on our property. Each year we’d have several mockingbird families build their...
