Bye Bye Birdie

We finally released Indie, on a Sunday afternoon in the park. We had helped her as much as we could and she was re-injuring by herself trying to fly in the cage. After considering what was safest for her, we picked a spot where there are lots of pigeons roosting in the rocks, lots of people at various times throughout the day and the week, and few cats. The boys knew about this place and we all thought she would be safer here than anywhere else.

So she has a new home in the park, and hopefully some new friends. We still don't know if she'll ever fly again, but at least she has a chance. Perhaps the freedom and some exercise will finish the healing in that wing. And if she never does fly, she'll have few predators to deal with and easy access to food and water. Bye bye, Indie. I'm glad I let the kids save you, and I hope you are well in your new home.
