Rocky Road's Story
Rocky Road arrived at the lowest point of his life: weak, emaciated, and with a cracked beak — a fancy domestic bird with no way to fend for himself out there. He's since made a full turnaround. The beak has healed, the weight is back, and these days his most pressing concern is whether the nearest shiny surface is catching his good side.<br/><br/>And honestly, who could blame him! He's dressed like his namesake: deep chocolate-chestnut across the wings and body, marshmallow-white flights and tail, and a splashy brown-and-white head that looks like the two colors were swirled together and left half-finished. His legs are feathered right down, the fancy-breed flourish that makes him look like he's wearing little white boots.<br/><br/>Rocky is well aware of all this. Give him a mirror, a foil wall, a water dish, any reflection at all, and he'll settle in to study the handsome fellow studying him back. For all the vanity, he's a gentle, people-loving bird who's content just to be in your company.<br/><br/>He's looking for an indoor home where a domestic pigeon like him is safe for good, with clean, dry footing to keep those feathered legs in good shape and steady, quality food after his hard-won recovery. Keep a mirror at his level, and he'll handle the rest. The road that brought him here was a rough one. He'd like the next stretch smoother — with a decent reflective surface waiting at the end of it!
