A dog yesterday, a pigeon today.
Some of my faithful readers will remember the pigeon that had grown up on my air-conditioner and eventually flew away when the time came. Well, he must've spread the word that my AC is a good spot to become a man (or bird), because a few weeks ago another pigeon was hatched there and I've since watched him too grow up.
Unfortunately though, when a pigeon nests on your AC unit, they bring with them a lot of bird crap and bugs. Thusly (yea, I said thusly), I was finding little bugs crawling around my window which is a big no-no, especially if it's in my bedroom.
Long story short, I decided that it was time to teach the young guy how to fly and I pushed him off the AC unit. Sadly he crashed two floors down and splattered all over the cement.
Just kidding. He actually flapped his wings a whole bunch and took off - a little wabbly - but it defintely qualified as flying. I helped a little bird become a big bird.
In a way I feel like I left that nest today as well. While I also feel a little wabbly, I think I'm gonna make it. Wish me luck...
(For a second there you thought I really murdered an innocent pigeon. Sometimes I think you don't know me at all.)
