Compass takes flight!

If you haven't read my previous posts on Compass, here's the story:
A pigeon flys head on into a moving vehicle and breaks his wing and jaw.  He crawls into a pothole and is discovered by my husband and brought to our home.  Numerous wildlife rescues were called and we were told he should be euthanised.  "Well,"  I thought to myself, " I can't do much worse than kill him."  So, I began to contact local veterinarians.  Luckily, not one but two local clinics have been kind enough to treat our avain rescue on his journey, one of which is Banfield Pet Hospital.  His home care would be my responsibility, I was nervous but would have to wing-it. (Oh-boy.)  A few weeks in a net covered sterilite container, a few more weeks next to my son's bed, he now resides on the screened in back porch.  We removed some of the screening to allow him access to the yard and sure enough, he's begining to explore.  Here's the Compass update, please click this link to read his full story if you are rescuing a pigeon.

Yesterday morning, I went out on the porch to see where Compass was hanging out... usually on the table or wood pile, but no sign of him.  Then my husband comes in and says "Guess who's on the roof of my office?"
"No way!" I gasp.  Then the boys and I go running out to see Compass hanging out on the roof!  OMG, I thought, should I get a ladder and get him down?  It was so unexpected that my first reaction was to go and fetch him.  lol!  Instead the boys and I filled up the bird feeder and he flew down when he heard the seeds hit the floor.  I was much relieved to know that he could easily get himself down from the roof without getting hurt... then it sunk in a little that he's not a toddler but a bird and one who can fly at that!

Did I mention he was curious?  As I type this Compass has come in through the back door and is checking himself out in the living room mirrors.  Can't blame him, being so handsome.
