UNDER HIS WINGS

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and
orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three
were not doing very well.

Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon that we have here in
rehab. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in...even
sleeping in front of the door to the cage.
Then, 2 days ago, I only counted 2 bunnies in the cage, so I hurriedly
picked Noah up from the front of the cage so I could look inside. And to my
surprise...there was the tiny bunny...under Noah's wing...sound asleep! The
bunny had crawled through the cage....preferring a featherbed, no doubt.
Now, they are all together, and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the
bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he extends his wings out to
surround them..and they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start
sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his
beak!!!!! This is amazing!!!
