Tristie-Mattea Ortiz reports how two classmates and she sprung into action while studying at the Copley Square library last month when they spotted a pigeon who needed help - he had "a visibly broken wing and missing toe." They were preparing to take it back on the Green Line to try to rehab it in their dorm - luckily, one of them was an avid birder - when they got a call back from 311 and were redirected to the MSPCA in Jamaica Plain, where, on the long trek over, they named the bird Freduardo.

Somebody who apparently does not live in a Boston neighborhood in which turkeys normally flock has filed a 311 complaint about the "loose" turkey that's been hanging out on the Common - a couple days after somebody filed a 311 complaint about a turkey in the Public Garden (maybe the same turkey, if it's learned how to cross Charles).
