So I went for a walk in the rain, or at least what they call raining around here. On my way home, I found this little fella.
He was just sitting there by the path, no trees nearby so I deduced he hadn't fallen from a nest. Although he was just sitting at my feet, so I knelt down and pet his little head. He hopped a bit but didn't fly away, thats when I noticed the wing that just wasn't quite right. Felt bad for the little fella, but just couldn't bring myself to kill it, since it wasn't dying it was simply injured. Thought about bringing it home, but I have no cage or other enclosure to keep it until it's well enough to fly. All it would take it for me to find poop somewhere, and my compassion would fade directing me back to plan A.
So I decided to move him off the path into the tall grass, where he had shelter, and lots of good camouflage. There he sat, I could barely see him. Lots of cats and other predators around, so I don't think it will make it but I gave him a chance, it will either survive or help another animal do so by becoming dinner. Thats just the way of it.
On another note since I worked through the holiday, I decided to make myself a turkey dinner tonight.
I even grew the damn flowers, you can't get more "from scratch" than that. If the turkey looks strange, it's because I bone mine out before cooking, it makes the carving a breeze. That was the day in a nutshell, have a great night one and all.

I'm glad you gave that little birdy a chance. Sometimes that's all anyone ever needed.
Well...Im still not sure about the hair. It was hard to get it red to begin with that's why Im thinking of using this black hair spray stuff that works really well.
