It flew into our house one lazy Saturday. I know it was a Saturday because we were on hands and knees, scrubbing the floor when it happened. Quickly, we locked all the doors and windows and chased the dove until it collapsed in an exhausted heap when it couldn't fly any more.

We kept it in a cage and fed it water and grain. It ate unenthusiastically for a few days, then calmly died.

Damn.
