OFFICERS of Bulli Ambulance Station recently had
an unusual "patient"
when a champion pigeon
was brought to them by
its owner, Mr L. Strachan of Bulli, for treatment.
The unfortunate bird was
badly gashed when it dived
at high speed into a prong
of the television aerial on
Mr. Strachan's home.
The owner, wishing to
save his champion, took it to Bulli Ambulance Station, where officers inserted 22 stitches in the wound. After stitching, the bird seemed to be doing quite well but unfortantely later died, probaly from shock. - Western Herald (Bourke, NSW) Friday 29 October 1965
