Unique Pet

Gone are those days when kids used to keep dogs and cats as pets. Today, I met this kid who was carrying a huge bird (presumably a falcon or a kite) as a pet. The bird was idling on the stools placed outside Dr. Kantilal Shah's dispensary.


Although the wing span was quite impressive, I had a feeling that the bird was either sick or hurt. It had nothing to do with finding it outside the good doctors dispensary!


The owner was sporting enough to ask me to hold the bird in my hand. Although tempted, I shied away, scared of the outcome. Maybe some other day, if it is not on the endangered list.


Hope my son does not make a request for such fancy pets!
