Good people
Just thought this was interesting........
I raise Birmingham Rollers..........I lost a young bird that I was trap
training
last wednesday. (06/28/06) A red-tail hawk dove at the loft and made
all of them scatter,
and unfortunately, a little one got lost and never returned.
Well, last night, (07/06) a guy called me from about 10 miles away and
told me he had
one of my birds! (I have I.D. bands on them.) And offered to drop it
off! That was so cool!
AND it turns out my wife knew a relative of the guy that dropped it
off. Small world! lol!
Anyway, the bird was skinny as a rail, but in survivable shape. It was
really nice for my
day to end like that, with the kindness of a good person.
E-Man
