Last winter it was a turtle... Last fall, I found Troll Kitty and managed to get her back where she belonged, but this one is gonna be hard...
I found a lost pigeon today. Yes... a pigeon. Today I placed an ad for a found pigeon.
UGH! There was all kinds of odd noises on my porch today - I go out there to see my little Sweetie, Stinky and Nicky all on the tiny porch together. That doesn't happen often - Sweetie is afraid of Nicky, Nicky is afraid of Stinky, etc... but they are all out there with 100% focus on a pigeon that was bouncing around on my awnings, deck rail and roof and there were 6 eye balls following every move.
I could tell right away that this wasn't a wild bird. He had no fear of me until I got within arms reach and I saw that he had a tag on his leg. AND he looked lost and confused.
It didn't take much to coax him into a bird cage borrowed from my bird-loving downstairs neighbors. They agreed to take him in for the night and might even have a friend that is wanting a pigeon.
He's a nice bird... Mostly black and white with a sheen of green and purple... he LIKED being in the cage. FINALLY he could eat in peace without cats constantly trying to get at him.
