Good Fortune

Before I stopped at the convenience store near my apartment the other day, a young pigeon fell from either the sky or off a balcony above me, just left of my center. It landed a few centimeters from my foot. Apparently, it's good luck if bird poop hits you, but what if the whole animal does?

Well, it didn't hit me. It lay on the ground gasping. I hate to say it, but I watched it for a few seconds, then went to the convenience store. God knows what might be on an Istanbul pigeon.

Since it was gasping, I'm sure it was fine. I have seen birds recover after simular events.

what's the Ashurbanipal update?
