Solidarity competition between the inhabitants of San Bassano
An entire country mobilized to save the life of a small peregrine falcon found injured yesterday afternoon and potentially at the mercy of other predators. It happens in San Bassano, in the province of Cremona, where the bird of prey has been entrusted to the “shared” care of the citizens: who hosted it, who fed it, who assisted it and kept it warm. Until this morning, when he was handed over to the provincial police officers waiting for him, recovered, to return to fly free.
It was a local family, who was walking their dog in the countryside, who came across the bird. Terrified because he was targeted by two crows and a magpie, he tried to spread his wings to keep the other birds away, but was about to succumb.
“It was our dog – tell the protagonists of the discovery – to notice the bird of prey and to act as a shield”. The ambush was foiled, the Cremonese picked up the still frightened animal and placed it in the bicycle basket. “He was perched quietly in the basket and so we got home.” Where the mobilization took place. First the call to the mayor, Giuseppe Papa, with subsequent removal of the bird of prey to the home of the mayor. And there, gradually, a sort of “procession”: the neighbor and the roadman arrived, children with their parents and the elderly, all ready to guarantee a contribution to the rescue operation, even if only a cuddle. Most decisive of all the butcher, who cut a chicken into pieces to feed the hawk, which in the meantime has become a sort of mascot. A tide of solidarity: «San Bassano and his citizens are so the mayor Pope did not hide his pride.
