Looks to me like Dan wearing sunglasses looking over his left shoulder which has a pigeon sitting on it.

WHAT?
Someone is having cell-phone and is not going to use it for 2 weeks?
Am I expected to belive that?

That's exactly what it is. Last year I found a juvenile pigeon standing on the sidewalk next to a building. It was hiding under a parked car and I knew it would not survive the night, so I caught it using my chicken herding skills that I learned as a kid. I built a cage for it in the back yard, and fed it until it was strong enough to fly. When it started exersizing it's wings, I started leaving the cage door open and it came and went as it pleased for a few weeks and then it's returns were fewer and fewer. It finally never returned so I am hoping that it found a flock to join. That picture is last August right before it could fly. So I was able to get the shot before it flew away. I liked the pigeon more than it liked me. It would wing slap me whenever I would reach into the cage to refill the seed and water tray. So it was too wild to try and make a pet out of. It's better off free.

I just cleared my eyes enough to type. The gallery pic of it on your shoulder is good. You both kinda had the black/grey thing going together.

I'm an animal love at heart (We've got 6 - 3 dogs and 3 cats), and it's always nice to see people helping animals out that are in need.

Similar to California Condor and spotted owl.

They probably do taste good.
That's what happened to the Passenger pigeon. Customer demand for them in the restaurants. They are now extinct.

The pigeon is the only bird that "nurses" their young on milk.

In some countries, a pigeon on the shoulder is good luck. In others it's hepatitus C.

Now this thread went WAY off. We may have lowered the bar.

We could move all the pigeon talk to this forum, where I joined to learn how to care for that little stray.

I wish they had those forums when I was a kid. We found some baby red-tail hawks near their dead mother. We put them in an old rabbit hutch full of straw and tried feeding them, of all things, hot dogs. Needless to say, they didn't make it. I guess we should have tried the kosher hot dogs?

I was 10 and it was the 70's. The enviroment was still a place to throw plastic bottles and toxic waste was put in the county landfill. We were ahead of the trend.

All kidding aside, Dan, you did a good thing.
