Deeply Rooted
But there is another bird that has brought luck to my garden.
It was a few years ago. Then I planted maize many times, but I did not grow. I do not know why. And I stopped it sow.
In that year we had a very cold Christmas. - 22 ° F. It is cold even for us!
In the evening, it was dark, but I heard a slight noise on the balcony. As if someone knocked. I thought that it seemed to me. After all, I live on the 8th floor. But then the noise came again.
Twice I went out on the balcony, but did not see anything. Then I dressed warmly, found the lantern. And in the corner, behind the glass, on the edge of a narrow cornice, I saw a little white dove. He miraculously clung to the ledge and pressed to the window. His eyes were closed.
Immediately there was a problem, how to catch him, so he did not fall and flew in the cold. He could have been killed. I opened the window, but he waved his wings, and I was afraid that it will fly away. I will not tell you how I caught it. Circus artists might to envy of me! But he was so cold, that did not resist when I took it in hand.
I had an old hamster cage. We poured to sawdust, put the water. Soon dove he warmed up and became more fun. There is a new problem-it's food. My grandfather and father once kept pigeons. So I know the composition of the feed. In the morning at the pet store, I found the perfect diet. It was food for large parrots "Captain Flint."
He lived with us until the heat. He made himself at home. Then I found him a new home. Part of the remaining food, we spread in bird and squirrel feeders. Only the grain corn - strong and large. Of course, I had them planted in the spring. That's a corn I dreamed! Cobs dense, sweet, bushes- like trees! Even in the late autumn, we dug them out of difficulty. So the dove found his new home, and I made friends with corn! Since that time I have it grows without any problems!
