Early in the morning, a teacher brought a pigeon that couldn't fly to Ms. Dietz. She did not know what was wrong with it. Miss Dietz examined the bird and proclaimed that it is a fledgling pigeon. Fledgling means that it is ready to leave the nest and it is learning to fly and live on its own. Its parents were probably still close by, keeping an eye on it. The teacher did the right thing by bringing it to Miss Dietz. The area where the teacher found the bird was not safe, it had many cars and human traffic. Miss Dietz said we could take pictures of it if we were quiet and gentle. The class behaved very well around our avian visitor, and we released it in the butterfly garden near a pigeon nesting area. We saved a fledgling pigeon.
