Pigeon

I forgot to tell you. I rescued a pigeon. I know what you're thinking. "A pigeon?!? Why would you rescue one of those? " But listen, I can't see an animal suffer without doing something about it. Some kids were kicking it around after it seemingly broke it's wing and it developed heatstroke after they left it in the sun. I picked it up and put it in a box, then I took it home. It turned out that it still had pinfeathers. It needed water, a cool place, and to be syringe fed some high-protein, highly nutritional feed for a few weeks to treat the heat stroke, and to accelerate the healing of its wing. The bird began recovering immediately and was flapping his wings about after a week or so. I felt that keeping him in the cage was restricting and unnecessary. So, I took him out and let him go with some other pigeons around a large pond, away from my dogs and cats. He still shows up there from time to time. We banded him.
