LaVerne had a stroke of bad luck when he fell from his nest that was under an overpass. We found him half dead on the road while we were on a walk.
Ben had a notion to finish him off right then and there, but I pled for mercy on behalf of the poor little chap. Despite threats from Ben and my brother, I put the little guy in my pocket and carried him home.
I asked Ben one night, "Do you want to hold the bird?" My cousin, Tammi, thought I said, "Do you want to hold LaVerne?" So the name stuck.
LaVerne is only interested in food. He seems to think I'm going to feed him like his mom did.
He also really likes toe jam.
LaVerne was a tad ugly at first but now he's becoming quite the handsome little pigeon. He even has a few brains in that little bird head.
As soon as he gets all his flying feathers we will let him fly away. My family is hoping he doesn't fly back. He's such a helpful little pigeon though!
