The Wrong(ed) One

Some time ago, we had put a baby potato in one of our empty pots in the balcony. A few days later, I opened the balcony door to see a pigeon sitting inside the pot, as if incubating. It was clear the bird had mistaken the potato for an egg. Pigeons have been periodically laying eggs in my balcony and I've been mercilessly disposing them off but this bird was not my victim. May be someone else had done it and in its desperation to retrieve the missing egg, it had come to the wrong balcony altogether. I felt sorry. I wish these birds could understand where they are not welcome; they just don't. Anyway, I guess eventually it figured its mistake. It left the potato alone.
