Yo! Your Yellow Bird Got Out Again!!

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Found this little guy hanging out Thursday morning outside of the Safeway on Piney Branch, near the Takoma Aquatic Center. He looked a little exhausted and hopped right onto my finger. He’s been taken to the Brandywine ASPCA on New York Ave, where they took a quick look and said he was in good shape. Hopefully someone can help him find his way home!”
