| Comments : | Juvenile flew into our closed patio door, and knocked itself out cold. We have a lot of neighbourhood cats in the area so I decided to pick it up out of the way. After squealing like a banshee for a minute it calmed down as I gently stroked it's head and sat on my hand. After about 15 minutes sitting on my hand, I'm glad to say that it perked up and flew away. |
