Nora Martin walks down Queen Street on her way to work every day.
Last week, a beach resident said she noticed two young men outside a building near Queen Her Avenue and Belfair Her Avenue.
They put a chirping baby in a plastic bag.
"I asked them what they would do with the bird and they said they would euthanize it," Martin said in a recent interview. "They also said, 'If you want to take them, go ahead.' So I did."
Martin was quick to say he was not an experienced animal rescuer. increase. She has caught and revived budgerigars and squirrels in the past, but she wasn't going to let the birds die on the sidelines.
She "I love birds," said Martin, who has a cat, a dog and a small parrot.
Martin brought the chick home with her. Her Apple-certified IT tech specialist doesn't use her social media, but with the help of her friends, she posts about pigeons and Pefferlaw wildlife sanctuaries with a group called Shades of Hope. Connected.
They raise pigeons.
We all know that Toronto people and pigeons don't always have the best relationship, but as Martin said, no one has this kind of plastic bagged baby.
``This has to be dealt with before there is a nest with babies. There is a park across the street.”
In any case, the bird is in foster care, so it worked out, she added.
"Happy ending."
