00:00It sounds like she's rather punctual.
00:02Were you saying every day at the same time at seven?
00:05It was very punctual.
00:07Basically couldn't go away.
00:09So I'm curious, like, could you walk me through what that routine included?
00:12Every morning at about seven o'clock in the morning,
00:15I would give her a bit of food and some neck scratches.
00:20She really loved her neck scratches.
00:31When did you first meet Pickle?
00:33About a year ago, and she was brought to me by just a concerned member of the public
00:37because she had been in a cat's mouth.
00:40The place where I used to work, which is the Wildlife Center,
00:43just because of my prior experience, they were happy for me to keep her.
00:47I gave her some antibiotics.
00:50She gained her strength and was able to be released, thankfully.
00:54And then it sounds like she came back, right?
00:57So this turned into, like, a regular thing.
00:59It was many months of her coming back and forth every day.
01:02Sometimes she would skip a day, and my heart would always skip a beat.
01:07She'd usually come in and have a bath.
01:09She would just sing these beautiful songs.
01:17She made a certain noise that kind of told me that she was ready to go out.
01:20I would open the window, and she would just fly off into the distance.
01:24She's going places. She's doing things. She's like a busybody.
01:26Do you feel like Pickle changed your life in some kind of way?
01:29I'm just so lucky that she came into my life, rehabilitated many birds,
01:33and released them.
01:35But none have gone quite like Pickle's story.
