I Picked Up A Bird Today

Well, I picked up a bird today. He was a cute little guy. Basically, he was just sitting there on the sidewalk. I get the impression somehow that he was pretty young. When I scooped him up, he clutched my fingers with his talons, and would not let go. I must have been there with him for fifteen minutes, before I could remove him from my hand. And when I finally did persuade him to release me, he flapped his wings, and landed on my shoulder. Little bastard pooped on my hand. I will say, however, that it was a relief to see that he could still fly, and I hope that he's ok...
