Chavaleh Pigeon

Little ChavalehI found Chavaleh Pigeon on April 27, 2000. She had fallen out of the nest and was drowning in Town Lake. I had to walk several yards out into the lake to retrieve her. She was soaked and weak from trying stay afloat. She was shivering and had swallowed too much water.

I quickly dried her off and warmed her up in a towel. We drove home and kept her dry and warm. I wasn't sure if she would make it, but I was delighted when she made it through the night. She was too young to eat by herself, so I handfed her for the next two weeks. Lovely Chavaleh

She grew quickly and after a couple of weeks, she learned how to fly. Soon she was ready to join the other pigeons. She did quite well and made friends with charming Glinka and sweet Luigi.
