STORY 1How to bring the blue-fronted Amazon home?
https://2010vets.blogspot.com/2015/11/2350-unbelievable-story-how-to-get-blue.html
The parrot perched on the tree overnight. The owner tried to extend the bamboo poles, but the bird was too far away from the corridor. What to do? |

A car parking lot separates the two blocks. Trees are planted at the periphery of the car parking lots |
Another housing estate with similar structure. The trees are planted between apartment blocks. A central green lawn, not a carparking lot, separates the blocks in this image. Clothes are hung on bamboo poles for drying.
Next morning, after bathing, prayed to the 3 Buddhas for help to get the parrot safely home. Looked out of window. Saw a black bee alighting near the parrot. Parrot flew off and landed on the ground. He dashed downstairs and got the bird safe and sound.
The black bee is large and looks like this image

"Was he crazy?" he asked us.
A divine help?
Once the bird escapes in a large city as Singapore, there is little chance of it returning home to the owner.

CONCLUSION
Divine intervention in both cases may be possible for those with faith. For others, the 2 birds returning to the owner safely were a matter of good luck.
3294. INTERN. A dwarf hamster has a very smelly large ear tumour
One of the worst cases of hamster tumours. This hamster has a very smelly skin lump. The smell wafted from the hamster to my nose in the consultation room. "Need to give antibiotics and clean up for 3 days before operation," I advised the owner. "Rushing in now will mean that the hamster is exposed to high risk of death from or after operation." The owner agreed to wait for surgery after 3 days of antibiotics.
