Pete's Story

Once upon a gray-feathered morning, Pete the baby racing survivor set about his most important mission: avoiding the suspicious box on the grass.<br/>The volunteer, knowing better than to rush a clever pigeon, sat down with her knitting. Click-clack, click-clack went the needles, while Pete waddled in circles, giving the carrier the occasional glance as if to say, “Nice try, but I’m onto you.”<br/>Minutes slipped into hours. The knitting grew longer. Pete inspected leaves, pecked at nothing in particular, and generally acted far too busy to be bothered. Finally, after making absolutely sure he’d proven his point, Pete puffed himself up and strolled into the carrier with the confidence of someone announcing, “I was going to do this all along.”<br/>The volunteer gathered up her yarn, amused. Pete, meanwhile, sat content in his carrier, certain he had orchestrated the entire affair. After all, it’s not every day a baby pigeon gets to turn his rescue into a proper performance!
