a few weeks back, i was asked to watch my mother's dog for a few days (CLICK HERE).  one morning, a small bird was hanging out on the back steps.  hanging out and not moving out of my way.  i had to go all the way around the house to see why.  he looked fine.  he just would not fly.  maybe he could not fly.  i tried to feed him cheerios.  he didn't eat them.  maybe he was a chicken hawk?  either way...this little birdy let me get real close.  i named him pepe.  :)  KMD
