i was standing in my backyard completely still and all the sudden a black owl flew right into my head and fell to the ground at my feet. i was a bit stunned and looked down at my feet and there was a little owl and it couldn't get up. the owl was completely black, very small (felt it might have been a baby as it was so tiny) and super fluffy, almost round.
i sat down beside it and its talons clawed a little at my lower legs but it still couldn't move. i picked it up, pet it, cuddled it and gave it love. really wanted to take care of it and make it better so it could fly again. i had it for some hours and then realised that although i wanted to take care of it, i had no idea what it ate or what i could feed it. Then i remembered that i was leaving for bangkok the next day (was in real life) and that i couldn't take it with me to look after it...
now....almost 3 months later (in real life) my friend shows up to mine with a baby fledgling pigeon that was soooo cute, fluffly and grey/black....just like the owl in my dreams. the pigeon was being mauled by the cats and it couldn't fly yet. i didn't know what to feed it all day~ tried some granola and nothing. i did some research on pigeons and found they have a very specialised diet of regurgitated mothers milk and now in real life i was reliving my dream cos i really didn't know what to feed it.
cared for the pigeon and watched him fly across the river into the golden glow of the morning mist and rising sun. it was beautiful
