I went out to get my hair done tonight even though I knew the girl I only let do my hair was not working tonight. I guess I just needed out. On my way home in the middle of the road I live on is something white. Right before I run my Jeep over it I realize its a small white bird. ** OH SHIT ** I make sure my tire doesn't hit it as long as it doesn't move. I particularly refuse to see it if I killed it because it depresses me so much I barely function for a week. So I ran in my house and asked Jason to check on the bird. He came home with the bird to tell me its a cockatiel that can not fly. I cant house this bird and its getting dark fast. So we decided our best plan of action was to find the owner now. I just couldn't see a flightless bird being out more then a few hours with out being killed. Someone close had to be looking for it right ? Well we talked to someone who lived right where the bird was and he said he knew everyone in the immediate area and no one owns a bird. So we traveled down a side road since its right off the road where the bird was found. We travel about a quarter-half mile down the road and found another tiny side road. Jason was going to turn around but I mentioned I had not been down here before. So he went down a couple houses and saw an elderly lady walking her dog. We stopped to ask if she knew anyone missing a bird. YES !!!! SHE DID !!! Her other elderly friend lost a cockatiel. The owner's 90 yr old husband took the bird out side and some how managed to escape. So we waited on the owner to arrive home from church. This lil old lady was almost in tears of joy. We could see it was her baby. I guess she had hand fed it and it was only 4-5 months old. They all thought one of the cats had got the bird, so we asked how long it had been missing. MONDAY !!! Can you believe a flightless bird traveled as far as it did for 3 days to the middle of a busy road with probably 50 cats around ?!?!?! I told her that was one lucky bird who was meant to come home. I know at least 3 cars traveled over that bird too. Jason and I are very happy to know "cinnamon" is back home with mommy...LOL
