West Nile Virus STRIKES!!!
It’s so sad, at work there was a crow that was just standing in the
middle of the road at work. No matter how close you drive right
next to it, it wouldn’t move. It was alive though, but it just
would not move. We eventually shooed it off the road, and on to
the grassy curve. The poor thing ended up tipping over on the
grass and didn’t even bother to stand up straight. We called
horticulture to deal with the bird, and we have no idea if it would
survive the day. If it wasn’t for the fact that you shouldn’t
touch an animal with the WNV, I would have picked the bird up and at
least petted it for comfort. Poor thing.

Birds are not made to be pet Albert. Feathers are a very delicate thing. If you pet them they have to prune themselves. You should get a rabbit. Now there’s some might fine petting. What exactly are the symptoms of west nile virus? I’m going to have to look that up. hehehe
Lucky loved being petted. wwaahhhh, poor Lucky.
WNV sucks. We have cases where you’ll literally see a bird fall out of the sky because of it.
