Last year I had the opportunity to "rescue" an American Robin that was brought to me as the sole survivor of a clutch of 4 from a nest blown down in a storm. Only a few days old and probably 80% naked, the construction of the nest was the determining factor of his/her species. So I named him Smokey. Smokey Robin. Smokey had free reign of my home, never captive in a cage, and almost daily Smokey spent many hours flying outside on his own, usually returning to my shoulder. Then one day in September, Smokey decided it was time to make his own way. I think he is still around, maybe one day he'll come see me.
One of the memorable moments here, Smokey takes the "numbers" quiz with Waynes' "101 Projects for your 911 Porsche". A smart bird, I never thought he'd be fraudulently selling cars later on.....
Enjoy.
