Well it was Friday evening, we were all getting ready to get some Christmas cheer. We wanted to go see some Christmas lights and visit Eva and my Mom. Then Crash on the roof! I thought something fell over in the closet but when we looked out the window, a Hawk was on top of our pigeon Snowy. The Hawk must have attacked her from some height.
We sacred the Hawk off of Snowy before he could dig his talons in too deep. Luckily the Hawk didn't fly off with her. Snowy then took off for the gas station. The girls and I were calling for her and some nice guy (didn't get his name-but we owe him a big thanks) came in the back and said a bird just flew under his car while he was pumping gas.
So we were able to get Snowy out from under the car. She was bleeding pretty bad under her wing. Lynne and Hailee took her to the vet where he decided she didn't have any internal injuries, but had five puncture wounds. He gave her some antibiotics and some more to take home. The first three day is crucial because birds can go into shock. She made it through the first big hurdle; the first night.
What a lucky bird. We have grown very attached to this bird. She has a lot of personality. Unlike anything I have ever seen before. She pecks at the window when she wants to come in. She tells us when she is hungry. She follows us around the yard like a dog. She even comes when she is called.
I don't think she'll be spending much time outside any day soon.

Hey David, this was a cool story. I like this web page you've created, very cool. This is a great way to see what's going on with Anna. Sometimes she forgets to tell me a lot of stuff. I didn't know about the bird incedent. Cool bird!!
