LOS ANGELES A woman chasing her wayward pet bird was injured when she fell 20 feet off a concrete wall into a flood control structure on the Los Angeles River....rescue crews needed ladders to retrieve the woman from the cement bottom of the structure in Studio City.

Is the bird OK?
When she hit the bottom...did she see more birds circling around her head?
The bird had no comment.
Are we going to ban cement, bird ownership, or both now?
It made me LOL.
Lets not be too quick to judge this poor woman....
She didn’t intentionally do this, no doubt she was very upset and not thinking clearly nor did she anticipate the dangers. Otherwise, in a crisis maybe she is very good in acting rationally and even helping others.
I sure have done some really stupid things when I was uspet..ha.
she has her bird, she will be ok and that is good.
Oh crap, this will now require the liberals to introduce legislation mandating 15’ tall, impervious fences to protect people from their ignorance. Of course, if it would impede the movement of illegals, we will just have to live without it.
I defintely think a national ban on anything made of cement is in order!!
“Now, the average person has objects made of cement,soon only criminals will have cement!”
Maxine Waters, please pick up the white courtesy phone...we need you to sponsor a new bill!
A net was reportedly used to capture the bird just downriver.
PERFECT!
YOU’RE BRILLIANT!
we will create a deep cement ditch all along the southern border..THEN, to protect the illegals, we will put up an electrified fence....!
( oh, yeah, and alligators in the cement ditch! We’re conservatives after all.)
And in other news, LA has cement rivers.
They make it sound as if she fell straight down 20 feet.. The wall is on an incline.. She probably rolled down it.. No serious injuries.. What a Do Do bird! :)
Birdbrain...
LOL
So, if I understand correctly, she swam in still liquid cement?
...set in their ways...
She’s lucky. She coulda been eaten by a giant ant.
LOL. That's the first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear of the LA River.
This would have been a great scene in A Fish Called Wanda.
I agree—loyalty is a good thing.
