The Animal Ark

The M! The Opera cast save a pigeon!

Or, more appropriately, three of the men aka The Three Tenors in this context (Justin, Zakri and Peter) worked as a team to set it loose, one biatch (me) looked on cooing pigeon sounds to calm the animal down (ya right!) and the rest of the cast watched, guided and cheered them on. Some shouting out about being careful about bird flu amidst all the other suggestions on how to get it free.

The silly bird caught its leg UNDER an air cond compressor. How that happened, we all have no idea. Justin climbed up first and thought he cut open whatever it was that was holding the bird down, with a pen knife that Trudy so helpfully provided. But it was still stuck. Then Zakri helped Justin onto his shoulders so that he could take a better look. Only then did we find out that the whole leg was stuck underneath the compressor. Then Peter came round, lifted the compressor with his strong hands while Justin moved its leg.

Great teamwork. Now we have to make sure we work that way on stage.

Justin said the leg looked injured. Well, I hope it can heal. Miss Pigeon wasn't there when we left yesterday, so she must have flown off. Hope she'll get well. And yes, she is female. It's my blog!

Now to walk the dogs.
