The Pee Wee has gone to a better place.

It's a large aviary on the edge of town. The storm that ripped through here on thursday night blew young birds down all over the place. One of my fellow rescuers ended up with a bunch of young pee wees who refuse to eat. We thought that if my bird went in with the others, they'd learn by example and start to gape for food.

You'd think delivering a bird would be easy, but as soon as I stepped from the car I was bailed up by a maltese terrier and a muscovy duck.I wasn't sure which one I should be more afraid of.
