Bird rescue update II

We arrived right when the center opened - bird did well on the trip - and there was a lady waiting with a dove who had been hit by a car. She went on and on about how great Kathy and the rehab center were. She brings birds in all the time (made me wonder if she was the one casing all the injuries) and gushed about the wonders they do. There were birds all over the place - ducks, geese, egrets, about 10 peacocks walking around the parking lot. When the workers showed up about 5 minutes later, we went into the office. I had noticed a sign on the door that said..."Caution - STRONG bird smells inside office area"....I think what they meant to say was the office smelled like bird crap. How anyone could stay in that space for more than 5 minutes is beyond me. Then again, you probably get used to it. Birds were walking around everywhere - doing their business everywhere. We had to sign in, give a description of what we thought the problem/injury was and leave our name and phone #, for updates on the rehab of the bird we brought in. They thought mine had either flown into something during the storm and addled himself or, because they said he looked skinny, had eaten something that might have been poisoned (like a bug that had been sprayed). He didn't have any obvious wing damage, so they didn't think that was the problem. Prognosis was very good and they expected to be able to release him back to the wild fairly soon.

So, my good deed for the week is done....
