Lonely baby quail chick wants to be held ~ cuteness level 1 billion

Baby birds are just the sweetest. When my chickens were babies they got really attached to me and if I passed their box without picking them up for a minute they would "cry" out to me until I came and held them. Now they're big and get upset if I don't come visit them at dusk. I sit on the patio and they all just pile up in my lap and get all cuddly.

my cold dead heart, my cold dead heart can't handle this

If I remember correctly, this chick was the first one to hatch and was only alone for a few hours while the rest hatched. Just putting that out there! C:
