You may have heard the idiom that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
But one lucky man tried to determine the conversion rate for a pair of baby chipmunks.
This man found these two adorable little ones in his garden.
When he extended his hand, the two babies climbed on it and treated the startled man like a living playground.
Like most infant animals, baby chipmunks are exuberant and full of energy.
Chipmunk mothers will stay with their babies for a month and a half, often using the morning to search for food.
While baby chipmunks tend to stay in the comfort of their mother’s home, these little ones couldn’t help but explore their new friend.
Seconds after he had them in his hands, one of the babies climbed onto his arm.
But what if you find a pair of baby chipmunks?
If you ever see them in your garden, return them to their nest and leave them alone.
If their mother is still alive, she will come back to them after you leave.
Luckily, this lucky man knew that was what he had to do.
There was just one problem.
One of the babies crawled out of her hand, but the more adventurous one decided they wanted to stay.
Gently, the man brought the curious little one back to his nest.
When the babies arrived home safe and sound, he left them with their mother to come home.
