That really brightened my day, as stupid or cliche that may sound.


When I was much younger, I used to have a sweet little pigeon named Nina (along with a bunch of "fancy" pigeons, fantails, Modenas, rollers...) Nina was a wild pigeon who had a hurt wing. A little boy came to my door one day and asked if I was "the animal girl" his parents talked about. People just tend to leave stray animals tied to my porch, bring over hurt wildlife to me, or ask me to trap a problem animal for them because they were just going to leave poison out if I wouldn't. I can't tell you how many car-hit turtle's shells I have casted up and how many dogs I've rehomed...

I said yes to him, sort of bemused, and he grabbed my hand and pulled me down the street to where Nina was, hurt and fluttering on the ground. I scooped her up, took her home, and tried to figure out what was wrong with her. None of the wildlife agencies took an interest in a "rat with wings" so we took her to the vet, got her wing set the best we could. She never could fly again, but she seemed happy. I would take her on bike rides, she'd stretch her good wing out and just... enjoy the breeze. I found her a good home with a man I knew who raised and kept so many pigeons just for the love of the little critters.
