Hi everyone,
Here is a story you will all appreciate, even though it is about a BIRD.
A friend-of-a-friend lost her small parrot in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Her home near the ocean in the Rockaways sustained a lot of damage, but her cats and bird, locked into an upstairs bedroom when the beans had to evacuate, survived the storm. After the storm she had contractors and insurance assessors in to survey the damage. The front door was left open, and her little bird--20 years old--somehow got out. She and her husband searched the neighborhood to no avail. Yesterday (5 weeks after the hurricane) they received a phone call from people in Massachusetts: they had found the bird!! They had been down to the city, delivering some gasoline to friends, when this little bird landed at their feet on the deck of their friends' house! They scooped it up and took it home to MA with them. They made a home for it in their indoor ficus tree and began to look through the "Lost in the Storm Websites" (of which there are apparently many). They found the description of our friend's friends' bird, called them, and the bird will get back home this weekend! Isn't that an incredible story? What a lucky little bird! And her beans are just thrilled and so thankful.
Moral of the story: never give up hope!
