A chickadee with paralyzed legs visits our deck every day.
You can see the right leg sticking straight out.
Notice the "toes" of the left leg, which the chickadee uses to hang on a branch, one-footed and usually upside down.
The chickadee scoots along on the deck like a double amputee in India, scooting along on a little board with tiny rollers. The chickadee flaps its wings to propel itself forward an inch or two.
Such compassion for this individual creature, whom i can identify as different from all the others.
