I just can't believe. How could that be alive for one more day? It was thrown out of its cage when it was just two days old. I had no clue why the mother pigeon did that. My dad put it in a different cage. I thought it was ridiculous. I mean, how you take care of a squab of two days old. At least, you can feed animals like dog and cat. But for a bird? I really felt that that bird would die in a day or two.

When I saw him few days back, he was scolding the little bird which was standing on his pillow - "Don't you know that I sleep till 5 PM. Why are you disturbing me in between"? He gave some food and went again to sleep. Now it can run. Now it can fly. Thank God, no one needs to teach this little bird how to fly. Now it can fly as good as its mother. Wings are born out of true love. Only a mother
