I sit outside my lounge room door everyday to have my coffee and ciggy ( we have a huge rooftop) for the past few months i have had this girl pigeon that has sore legs come and visit me and at times also either fly to my kitchen window and wait for me or sit next to my chair outside ,,at first she had alot of trouble walking and sitting right ,, i used to hand feed her and give her water everyday ,, a few months later i started to see a change in her ,, she could walk alot better and seemed in bettter health ,she used to stay next to my chair till late at night when i used to go out to have my usual ciggy and coffee and also at times be almost under my chair for protection,,

i saw her early yesterday day morning and she was up on my wall outside watching me ..

my son had started his fevers again so i didnt have my usual ciggy time with her . but i didnt think anything of it as she looked good that morning ,,

it was only after i had put my son down for his napp and went to the kitchen to make a coffee she few next to my window and sat down in the sun ,,

I opened the window and started to have my little chat to her ( yes im a little weird but she always came to me and she was a wild bird ,, i had become attached to her as much as she was with me )

she started to act a little funny she looked a little distressed also and wouldnt eat the food i threw out to her ,,

so i went outside next to her to see if she was ok ,, i brang her water also ,,

she looked like she was trying to get comfterable wiggleing arround and stuff..

this stressed me i didnt know what was wrong or what to do ,,

so i jumped online and mel was there and she gave me the number for wires to call ( thankyou mel),, they inturn told me that i could take her to a vet and they will take care of her ..

That was my next stress how do i take a pigeon to the vet i dont drive or even have a car and my sons ill ,,

i called up my friends mother and spoke to her caring flatmate , she inturn called up my friends mother to call me ,, she said she will be here in a few hours to help me with this bird ( they knew about this pigeon cause i had spoken to them about it before )

i just sat next to her and she twisted arround and just looked at me thats when she died..

I know to some its strange and to them its only a pigeon , but to me it was more .. she came to die next to me cause she felt like she had a safe place to do it ..

It really broke my heart though ,, Im just glad shes not suffering anymore

my friends mum came here in the afternoon to take her away to burry her in her garden  I was soo grateful for that ..
