I had to take my hyper-t kitty to the Vet today. While I was in the waiting room a lady arrived with a bright colored bird; orange or red. I couldn’t tell exactly what color because of the container it was in. I asked her what kind of bird it was and she said it is a carrier pigeon and explained she was from the bird rescue near my house. It was a very large, beautiful carrier pigeon that should have been white. The poor bird had been painted with fluorescent orange spray paint. Someone found him trying to fly near their home and brought him to the rescue for medical care. Unfortunately, the tag carrier pigeons normally wear was missing. The lady said he should have a complete recovery when he molts again, until then his home will be the rescue. People can be so cruel, but at least he is in a safe place until he can find a new home. 🙂
