A Real Rescue!

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an incident where I thought I was going to rescue a turtle on the side of the road and it ended up being a shoe. Well, today I actually made a rescue. I was driving over to my school, or should I say ex-school, that I wish was still my school. Anyway, I was driving down the street when I saw what I thought was a dead, green parrot on the side of the road. That is not a rare sight since we have parrots all over the place in South Florida and some times they are hit by cars. Well, I kept driving and, once again worry over the hurt animal set in. What if it's not dead? So, I turned around and when I reached it, I found out that it was alive. At first, it seemed really bad off because it was limp and gasping for breath. I picked it up and it wasn't long before it perked up a little and started squawking. Then, I was afraid it was going to bite me, but, thankfully, it didn't. It seemed like it wasn't going to be able to fly because it was still somewhat limp, but I decided to put it on a fence post to see what it would do. I heard other parrots overhead and, then, I was afraid they may think I'm hurting their friend and try to attack me. The parrot was barely able to sit--then, all of a sudden, it seemed like it heard the other parrots, because it perked up the rest of the way and flew off. Yes! A successful rescue!
