Pigeon Rescue!

I went to Weston on Thursday, walking up the mud, oops I mean beach - some teenagers had fished a half drowned young pigeon out of the sea and didn't know what to do with him. I wrapped him in my t-shirt and carried him the half mile back up the beach, we got a box off a shopkeeper, put him on a towel in the box and dropped rescue remedy on the back of his neck... the poor bird was spitting salt water and shaking like mad, he could harldy drink the water we offered him but he did get some. Anyway we didn't want to leave him where a fox or dog might get him - we'd passed a wildlife farm nearby on the way so on the offchance we took him there to see if they had a safe place to keep him overnight. It was closed by the time we arrived but we found somebody. When we checked the pigeon he was mostly dry, standing up and chatting away, the man said although he didn't usually do things like this he'd take pigeon in for the night so he was safe. What a lovely lovely man, and a saved life

 

Well done you and him - hopefully the pidgeon will resume his journey to whereever he was going.

 

yes,well done Jay.a funny thing happened last yr while i was shopping in the high street. i walked into a shop to find people having histerics,sreaming and and what have you.i thought there was a fire at first but it turned out to be a pigeon.after a while the poor thing settled on a window ledge ,so i put my bags down ,got hold of him and let him go.folks were CLAPPING and saying well done and i was embarrassed to say the least.i laughed about it afterwards with O/H referring to me as HERO for a week.

 

Yes Shiney, pigeon had some reiki off me too

Rescue rem is great cos if they can't have it orally you can just drop it anywhere where the blood vessels are near the body surface, pulse points etc

 

Hi Jay as a pigeon man l would like to thank you on behalf of all at the R.P.R.A.such kindness to our featherd friends,thank you

 

No problem, said pigeon was just the latest in a long line of saved friends
I do tend to stop in the middle of a road, stick my hazzards on and make the traffic wait while I get them (or any other animal friend) out of the road :D
