There must be an animal bulletin board somewhere. My wife and I have been fostering dogs and cats through AFRP<\/a> for years. But word gets out to the rest of the critter community: “Go to the Gaither’s. They’ll feed you and everything!” (Someone’s talking. Maybe it’s the birds. I hear they tweet now.) Anyway, this explains why we’re raising two orphan pigeons.<\/p>\n

Long story – always is – how we ended up with them, but they’re sort of cute…despite the scientific fact that all baby birds – other than chickens or ducks – are sort of hideous until they get their feathers. With any luck, “Ren” and “Stimpy” (of course we named them) will be fully feathered and ready to take to the air in a few weeks.<\/p>\n
