At that point, the man decided to take the matter into his own hands and try to save that lonely-looking egg

The shop owner agreed to give him the egg, which he then put inside a matchbox and took home

Bingo! After a few days of incubating the egg, he was already able to see a beating heart inside it

Then the little one started growing fast but the egg had to be rotated three times a day so that it wouldn’t stick to the shell

So far, so good. But that was just the start. The bird was incredibly small and incredibly fragile.

The man studied everything about how to feed the little parrot and realized that it could be done, but it wouldn’t be easy…
