Yesterday I was driving home along SE 28th between Glisan and Sandy and saw, on the opposite side of the street, a little injured pidgeon who was flopping and struggling to get out of the street. Cars were coming on the other side, swerving around the poor thing, our side of the street was stopped.
I was thinking about how on earth to get the poor bird out of the street without being hit by a car msyelf, when the car in front of me suddenly pulled over and a girl with *the most beautiful hair ever* hopped out and ran across the street to help.
I ran home and told my husband "I just saw a girl with the most gorgeous bright red hair run through traffic to save an injured bird!!!! I LOVE PORTLAND!"
If you're reading this, fantastic red-haired girl, you totally made my day! I'd been sick all weekend, this was the first time I'd been out of the house in days and everyone at the store was cranky and rude. Did you ever get the bird to safety? When someone honked and I had to drive away, it was under the truck...
