Helping the Pigeon
Today I ran with my husband in the nearby public park, as we do several times per week for exercise and for relaxation. We then saw one lovely pigeon whose foot (or feet) and legs were entangled in shiny party decorations. It was terrible. The loitering done by people caused this innocent bird's feet to be connected and barely able to walk properly, just hop.
It seems like wires, threads, and various junk cause serious harm if not death to animals. They suffer because people don't care or don't know.
So we did 'animal rescue'; we managed to entice the group of birds with seeds and then I picked up the pigeon; I held it with its wings closed and then held it while my husband was untangling the mess around its feet.
We released the pigeon and this pigeon seems to be happy. This was the first, but for sure not the last. █
