i think he felt bad for the brids cause there was no one to help them or care for them just like him and plus the mother was gone
cole as a nice guy would have not dragged him int this mess. the bad cole dragged him into this mess if he wasnt such a bad guy and he wouldnt be in the hospital
i think its kinda mest up that garvey said have confidence in him.
I think this is a glimpse at the new Cole. He shows sympathy because he realized those birds were helpless like him, so he knew how it felt. Cole deffanitly still has a chance.
I think that cole is changing to be a whole new person. He relized that thopse little birdy's were definatly helpless just the way he wasl. He kinda knows how it feels for parents not to care for there children because his mon and dad dont care. But honestly i think cole has a good chance of living
