not sleeping, and this morning it was still alive, but not eating, its
eyes bright as ever. We called Audubon, but they could only refer us to
another organization; we called there, and finally were given the name of

local veterinarian; he said the bird was young, and had suffered neuro-
logical damage, that there was, apparently, a virus making its rounds
through the local pigeon population. It still couldn't move its legs; its
wing muscles were incredibly weak. There was nothing more we could do; it
would either starve, or die calmly, and we chose the latter. elegy written
