I have saved quite a few wild animals (birds and mammals) in my life (in my young-hood, while growing up), and so I know the feeling of rescuing and seeing them free. Jimmy understood that you guys were helping him and he trusted you -- what a great honor to have that. Congratulations to you all :-).
