Friends and Kitties!
Sheebie here.
My husband Scott is one of the world's most sensitive people--truly. Last Saturday while running to the Post Office to mail a large donation of cassette tapes to a home for mentally handicapped adults he noticed a pigeon hunched over on the centerline of a busy street; and even though he told himself he'd take a different way home he couldn't, and of course the poor bird was still there, in such bad shape it calmly let Scott pick it up and cradle it against his chest on the trip home.
Now, we have a friend who does bird rescue and I put in a call to her right away, but had to leave a message...and in the meanwhile Scott was a wreck, worrying and waiting. So I did a search on line and found on Facebook (of all places) the phone number of a local lady who did rescue who was home and she said bring it over right away. Not more than five minutes after Scott left (of course) our friend called back, and--small world--she knew the lady who Scott was headed to see! Turns out they both volunteer at a local bird sanctuary.
The pigeon has a broken lower bill (probably struck by a car) and, unable to feed itself, was dehydrated and starving, not to mention in pain--that's why it was so passive. It's being tube fed and a week later is doing much better. According to Mary (the rescuer) the beak will grow out whole, it'll just take time.
It is so true, you might not be able to save the whole world, but you can save one animal's world.
Happy Sunday!

That is so awesome... but I would expect nothing less of Scott.
ReplyDeleteMr. Crazypants is our hero!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, poor little pigeon. He was lucky to be found by such a wonderful man. And not by the Kats
ReplyDeleteMr. Crazypants rocks!
ReplyDeleteYay for Mr. Crazypants for saving that birdie! We're glad he's a big softie!
ReplyDeleteThat is very lucky for the pigeon. We're glad Scott rescued him.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Scott is my hero! (This is the Human, of course--Spitty would have said, Eh. Whatever.)
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right. We can't save everyone. But we can save the one in front of us. XOXOXO
Poor little birdie! We're glad Mr. Crazypants was there to save him/her!
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing. THANK YOU, Scott, for rescuing that pigeon! And to all of you for doing what you did in making sure the pigeon is well taken care of. You guys ROCK!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, That would have been dinner here... Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI adore your husband. So much.
ReplyDeletebig hugs from the Land of G. xoxo
Aw, what a lucky birdie! Lets hear it for the softies!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? 99% of people would have left the bird, thinking, well, it's just a pigeon. Kudos to Scott, he's definitely a hero to that poor bird.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. We hope that bird makes a full and complete recovery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. Yay Scott. Glad the bird was saved. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMy pet rescue pigeons send a big BRRRRRCOOOOO to Scott.(That's thank you for being a sweetheart ,in pigeon).

ReplyDeleteThat was very nice of Scott. Hopefully the bird will fully recover ASAP.
ReplyDeleteGive Mr Crazypants a big hug from me!
ReplyDeletemost folks wouldn't do that for a pigeon. Mr Crazypants rocks! :)

That mantra is all that keeps rescuers going. There is so much need in the world, but we can't rescue every animal. Kudos to Scott and the rehabilitators!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great act of kindness. Softies RULE!
ReplyDeleteTears in my eyes! What a wonderful man and such love for all of God's creatures. This touched my heart!
ReplyDeleteLife moves in mysterious ways, but how cool is it that you know a bird rescuer...and you rescued a bird who needed help! We are all connected, and this story proves that. Good on you, Mr. Crazypants!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhh Sheebie next to kitties mom loves birdies. Give Mr. Scott
ReplyDeletea hug from us
Hugs Madi your bfff
So wonderful! Blessings and Me-Ommmmmm
ReplyDeleteMy dad-person would have done the same thing :)
ReplyDeleteXOXO
What a special man you have there! Most of the guys I know would done something less heroic.
ReplyDeleteI hope the pigeon makes a full recovery. Poor thing!
This quote from Harry Potter comes to mind: "...there will be a time when we must choose between what is
ReplyDeleteeasy and what is right". Our
thanks to Scott for being a man of
integrity.
Nice! Kudos to Scott.
ReplyDeleteAw, we love Mr. CrazyPants. We're glad the birdie will be okay.
ReplyDeleteAw, we love Mr. CrazyPants. We're glad the birdie will be okay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartwarming story. Poor pigeon, but he is so lucky to be found by Scott. So glad he is doing better! Mr. Crazypants totally saved the pigeon's world, and made the world of difference!
ReplyDeleteHubby Scott really is a softy. Our Dad is one as well. He has saved birds, bunnies and dogs. Many years before any of us were born, the peeps raised a Robin they named Edith (for Edith Bunker) after a dog got it and broke its leg. If would sit on top of the kitchen cabinets and dive bomb any people who came over. Mom says it was pretty funny.

That is just beautiful, Sheebie. Please give Scott some big old hugs and headbonks from us, okay?
ReplyDeleteThis has completely warmed out little kitty hearts.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right...you can't save the world, but that doesn't mean you still can't be a hero.
Scott's our hero!
xo
Reading this made us feel all fuzzy and warm. Bless Scott for rescuing the bird and you all getting help for it. You are right we can't save them all but if each of us do what we can we can sure save a bunch of critters in need. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU SCOTT!!!!! What a great thing. SO happy you guys could get the bird help.
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden, I feel better about the world! Scott you are one of the good guys for sure!!
ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't bring home an early Christmas gift! But then, we knew daddy was a big softy cause of Sylvester's story.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful is this story! Looks like you married the right guy.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a COOL story!!
