Adventures in ferals...well, I got my girl and her new buddy back about a week ago....sadly she doesn't trust me like she did when I rescued her ...we've been separated 4 months
 I built a portable little pen for them, so they can have fresh air and space....lots of weird plans and power tools...still have to make it more comfy and build a shelter inside...needs a few tweaks I am sure...I have an enclosed yard, locked gate. hmmmm thought moving them there would be a cinch lol.....my indoor cage is in my basement....so of course my rescue wiggles past me and out...boy can she fly! i swear she isnt crippled!! flapping all over the basement...exploring all the support beams.....so I let her get tired poor dear hasnt flown in so long. I got them out in my little play area!! enjoying the sunshine and the company of wild birds...daytimes, nice weather of course.....a trial for a more permanent structure I hope. any thoughts on improvements?? other than not letting her crawl over my head and out the cage door!!! do they need a bath sometimes? jen

These creatures are called psychopomps, from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός (psychopompos), literally meaning the "guide of souls". Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply provide safe passage. Frequently depicted on funerary art, psychopomps have been associated at different times and in different cultures with horses, whippoorwills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, harts, and dolphins.
