Spectrum of overwhelm, now in triangle form due to popular demand

[Image description: A triangle chart titled, ‘Spectrum of Overwhelm.’ The three points are ‘404 Error,’ showing a person with an empty thought bubble; ‘wet beast,’ showing a person sweating and sobbing; and ‘rage beast’ showing a person clenching their fists in an outline of orange fire. The peak is the ‘404 error’ vertex, and the inside of the triangle here is coloured beige and labelled, ‘shutdown.’ The lower half is labelled ‘meltdown’ and is red on the rage beast side and blue on the wet beast side. \End description]

This is one of the more dramatic photos I've ever seen, and the story attached lives up to it. Both these pigeons were recently shot by humans. Why, I don't know. They may not fly again. They are in the home of a volunteer rescuer. The male, outside the cage, has been there for longer and had more time to heal. The female, inside, still has pellets from the gun lodged in her, and I gather may die of it. She was in the cage as a temporary protective measure for her first few days in the house (since pigeons sometimes bully new arrivals out of territorial jealousy). But they could not wait several days! They fell in love! They chose each other as mates before she was even out of the cage.

If this kiss through the bars involved two humans - preserving as far as possible its lighting, spacing and postures - it would make a famous National Geographic cover, rivalling the green-eyed Afghan girl. You know it to be true.

(The photo - and more importantly, the rescues - are by a person associated with the volunteer pigeon aid group Palomacy. Shared with permission.)
