Strange story perhaps to break the monotony...

Several years ago I was out on my front porch in the early morning. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I saw some movement in the grass.

I looked over to see a pigeon unlike any I had even seen before hopping toward me. Being under the assumption that birds fear people and will not approach them, I watched curiously as this bird hopped closer and closer to me.

Without taking much notice of me it then jumped up the the few steps to my front door and went into my house through the door I had left partially open.

I was so shocked I wasn't quite sure how to react so I followed it in.

It had led itself under the coffee table and was just sitting there.

The pigeon was very pretty and I got the distinctive impression it was scared and perhaps 'lost'.

I then went and got the cat carrier out of the garage and put it inside.

After a bit of marveling at the events, I packed up the bird and drove it to the raptor bird sanctuary in my city.
