Thank you! What a thing to have such a relationship! And Jeannie the most amazing thing happened. Aigin removed his broken wing all by himself. I came home and it was lying on the bed and he sitting easy on his perch.
good for Aigin! What is he eating now? We have mice in our basement - I suggested that we should get some snakes down there but Krissy isn’t too keen on that idea. So maybe an owl then?
Farland, I just finished reading Shreve’s book based on her Daily Coyote blog and thought about you and Gnomi lots. I had just put it by the door to send to you via Dawn (whose address I have from the postcard circle) and then I booted up the computer and saw this exchange. Synchronicity : )
That is Siona’s job title Synchronicity Coordinator!
Oh dear, I thought I was in charge of synchronicity. Maybe I can take a day off.
How did Aigin remove his own broken wing? And what does this mean? He has a wing on only one side? Does this unbalance him? Does he walk in circles now instead of straight? Does he tip over? Will he ever fly again? I’m completely riveted by this …
I wasn’t there so don’t know how he did it must likely pulled it off as it was dead only held on by dried threads. He seems more balanced now and walks straight and can flutter pretty high from the ground to the back of the chair etc. I think a lot of that power comes from the strong leg hopping ability.
Lil- all the birds at the nature center here ended up in that place because of collisions with cars and resulting wing damage. They are no longer flighted, like Aigin. This is what usually happens: human throws trash out of car - hey, it’s biodegradeable, it’s just an apple core or whatever. Mice/rats/other animals scavenge stuff by the road side. Raptors go after the rodents and intersect with cars on the road. Wing damage means raptor has to become someone’s project, non-flighted raptor isn’t functional in nature. Aigin is so lucky to have Farland.
Wow! I learned so many things here today and will never throw and apple core out a window for the wildlife again! The Daily Coyote is winging it’s way to you and Dawn. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts Farland. In the meantime, smooches of healing to Aigin and Gnomi. Jeannie’s right. They are sooo lucky to have you.
Oh, Mama. This gave me goosebumps. Recently I’d told someone else on the site that I was happy because, quote, the love of my life had just moved in, and this someone warned me how dangerous that phrase was–“love of my life”? I wrote back to tell him not to worry–that I knew enough of life, and of love, to know that there is only one final love and one final lover, death, and that all else is pale imitation, but, even so, that this would not, could not, prevent me from loving as fiercely that which is here. And then I came and found this.
Yes.
I don’t think the coyote ever ties, though. He’s too much of a trickster for that.
