Our building manager found this injured pigeon in Griffith Park and has nursed it back to health. It must have been someone's pet that escaped because he is really friendly. Everyday they let the pigeon, now named Marco, out into the courtyard to sit for a while (he can't fly well, 7 feet or so), and if we are out he'll come over to check us out. He doesn't seem to like to be touched but wants to be quite close by. Today we were inside with the door open and Marco heard our ruckus and came right over to say hi. The kids were so thrilled and they stood at the screen door talking with him forever. I think he could be like Nana in the tale of Peter Pan.
