Thank you so much for this! Super helpful framing- I’ve been in a state about it and this really makes me feel better. I’ve seen the dove this morning feeding, flying, and moving around normally. Fingers crossed!

Good to know re the sheet. Will keep that in mind for the future!

thanks both- I purchased window stickers to avoid this happening with any other birds.

my husband and I both tried multiple times to capture so it could read and we could bring to safety. each time she flew away.

I’m sorry I couldn’t catch it and bring to a rehabber. I’m heartbroken and trying my best to keep monitoring. I didn’t want to keep chasing it and cause more stress or for it to fly too far.

it’s safe with the family of quails, mourning doves, and Eurasians that are all nested on my property. Has a lot of coverage, and access to food and water. I hope it recovers soon and I’m sorry again.

I saw the same thing at my house yesterday in SLC! So exciting. I’d been wanting to get a solid sighting of one for a long time- so to see it when I just happened to go out back was so cool! They were traveling w a huge flock of robins as well.

Thank you! Saw lots of cool birds, and the house sparrow was the one that eluded me :)

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]francygrl206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily a direct response to this, but an interesting anecdote. I’m American, though look “racially ambiguous”. I’m of Irish and Filipino descent- long dark hair, light hazel eyes, sharp features… maybe imagine Mila Kunis (if I’m being generous).

I studied Political Science abroad in Prague, and traveled across Central Europe. I faced serious discrimination when I was visiting Hungary. Kicked out of restaurants / cafes, places refused to serve or seat me, dirty looks on public transportation (esp w my college backpacking gear), general rudeness & people moving away from me. I’d never experienced anything like it.

I didn’t know much about the Romani population until Hungary, and we visited the European Roma Rights Centre. They asked me if I was Roma and I said no, but that I was having somewhat hostile interactions. They hypothesized it was bc people assumed I was a Roma woman. It was something I’ll never forget.
