It was a wrench to do it but we’ve released Pepi, knowing that he was fit and well again and could fly without any problems. We’d become so attached to this little fella and giving him his freedom was the only thing to do. Still, we worried – will he be alright? Will he get enough to eat? Will he stay clear of cats? He hesitated for a moment or two and then he was off, straight as an arrow. Flight and freedom – they are the main things for a bird, they’re so fragile and yet able to fly for miles and navigate their way over thousands of miles. Maybe he’ll come back to see us one day. Stay safe little pigeon.
Bye Pepi. Keep safe.
