Homeless in Vancouver: This bird's got my back, so watch it!

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      This is my new feathered friend and constant biking companion.

      Since being rescued from a Dumpster a few days ago he or she has been keeping a watchful eye on traffic for me—my rear view bird, if you will.

      It doesn’t talk to me of course (that would be crazy), but it does speak to me, if you know what I mean.

      This is a worldly bird with a unique way of looking at things—both direct and a little unnerving.

      I pity the poor driver who tries to stare it down.
