Sharing is easy—and it helps more than you know.
A baby pigeon and rabbit in Ireland have found friendship together. These orphan animals are currently living at the Kildare Animal Foundation Wildlife Unit. When they were brought there, they were brought separately and had never interacted before. The rabbit was brought first with his umbilical cord still connected to him. He was in an unstable condition and even suffered a seizure that makes him walk unsteadily. Fortunately, the rabbit survived all of these health issues.
About a week after the rabbit was brought in, the foundation received an urgent call from a woman who was reported to have seen a pigeon’s nest lying on the ground. The nest contained an unhatched egg and a hatched egg with a small chick inside. The rescuers from the foundation rescued the baby chick and placed him in an incubator with the rabbit because there was only one incubator available. A divide had been placed between the two baby animals but one broke through and settled next to the other one. Now the two seem more confident and happy together than they ever were apart.
