This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
I was outside with Falcor and I saw a pigeon who was having a hard time flying. So I picked him up and brought him inside, put him in a box on my desk and called Animal Control. They said if he's just hot and needs food and water they can help him but if he's hurt they'll have to put him down.
He was trying to fly and was spreading his wings and flapping them so hopefully he just needs a little rest and to cool off. I tried to give him some water but he didn't want it. He slept on my desk until they got here.

This Ground Medical Transport picked someone up from the apartment complex across the street. I've seen other medical transports around here but haven't seen this one before. It's nice to know there are so many services here in the valley like this if someone needs it.

I noticed the police blocking the side street one day this week. They weren't letting anyone by.
And there were other police parking on that side of the street. There were several police cars in the alley across the street as well but I couldn't get pictures of them from where I was. They were here for about 2 hours but I have no idea what was going on.
The high this week was 116F/46C
The low this week was 87F/30C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
I hope the pigeon recovers.
ReplyDeleteGoodness your temperatures are high. Stay as cool as you can.
I hope that little pigeon is alright too.
DeleteSo, a quiet week...or a minimal amount of drama at least. I guess you could call it a win if neither ambulances nor police cars showed up in your neighbourhood for a day...
ReplyDeleteit was pretty quiet this week. If neither show up for a week that would be a good week.
DeleteNice that animal control would come out for a bird.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure they would but I was glad they did.
DeleteHope the pigeon is ok
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteInteresting that animal control responded to a pidgeon emergency. Didn't know they did that. Blocking off the area for 2 hours sounds like some kind of evidence gathering.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they would either but I didn't know what else to do for the poor thing.
DeleteI was thinking the same thing about the police.
The heat this summer has been unbearable. I hope that pigeon is okay.
ReplyDeleteOh the heat is crazy. Way too hot. I hope the bird is alrught too.
DeleteI hate to see animals not doing well. I know that you can't get them to help wildlife in my area. I hope that the pigeon was able to get better.
ReplyDeleteI hate seeing it too which is why I called and hoped they could do something for him.
DeleteHope the pigeon is ok. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. I will try.
DeleteLife is never boring. We enjoy the doves here too. Las Vegas? We lived in Victorville, CA, for years and know your struggles there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Las Vegas. I like it here most of the time but the Summers here are so hot.
DeleteOh poor little pigeon
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for him too.
DeleteAw that poor pigeon!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what was going on in that alley.....
I don't know but something was.
DeleteAwww, bye-bye birdie, that's sad for that poor sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for him.
DeleteThat poor bird.I’ve noticed that happening to birds, where they can’t seem to fly. I guess being in Vegas can be too hot for birds, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't see it often but I suppose it does.
DeleteI hope that pigeon recovers.
ReplyDeleteStay cool, Mary.
Hugs and blessings
I hope so too.
DeleteI complain about being 95 degrees.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
lol Yeah it's too hot here.
DeleteThe Wildlife is having a difficult time too with this Extreme Heat, hopefully the Sky Rat will recover, I like Pigeons but they can be a nuisance and spread disease, so I realize why many people don't want a lot of them around their Homes. We mostly have Doves and Grackles, sometimes the Baby Grackles fall out of our Pine Trees, always so sad, they usually don't Survive long. You have a Kind Heart.
ReplyDeleteI see some doves, black birds, pigeons and sparrows. But that's about it around here.
DeleteIt never occurred to me that birds can be overcome by heat the same as animals. I hope the pigeon recovers.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteHope they released the poor pigeon!
ReplyDeleteI hope they were able to also.
DeleteWhen I worked at Lowe's we had a lot of birds get injured there
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteOh my goodness... How's the pigeon doing? Is Falcor okay with the bird in the apartment?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Animal control came and got it. Falcor wanted to see the bird so bad when he was here.
DeleteI wish they would have gave you an update on the pigeon. I had to take a baby bunny to the rescue locally because a cat attacked it. She gave me her card and said if I want to know if he made it to give her a call. I never did because I wanted to believe in my heart of hearts he had a successful recovery.
