Noah the Dove 鸽子诺亚

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.

这些小兔宝宝，大约六天大，遭狗袭击而成为孤儿。一窝五只中的两只没有幸存，但剩下三只身体尚好。

Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.

诺亚是动物复原中心的一只尚未释放的独脚家鸽/原鸽。诺亚不断地到兔宝宝的笼子里探望 - 甚至在笼子门前睡觉。

Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise...there was the tiny bunny...under Noah's wing....sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt to snuggling up with its littermates!

突然有一天，笼子里只有两只兔宝宝。但当诺亚在笼前挪移，让大家惊讶的是...诺亚翅羽下...有一只兔宝宝...在酣睡！那只小兔宝宝已经爬过笼子，选择了羽毛床，毫无疑问它到同窝伙伴处取暖!

Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is beautiful and amazing to see...

目前，所有动物们在一起，兔宝宝成长得很好。当兔子在诺亚羽毛下翻动，诺亚很小心地伸开翅膀包围着小兔子，然后它们蜷缩偎依起来。当其中一只移动，其它兔子开始四处挺出时，诺亚温柔地用鸟喙将它们重新推回自己羽毛下。看到这一切，很美丽也很奇妙。。。

This is what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a warm cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us.

这正如当我们需要温暖和爱时，上帝对我们所做的。他将我们拢入他爱的翅膀下，用温暖的摇篮保护我们。感谢和赞美神与我们同在，是我们唯一需要回报他的。

Update on Noah the pigeon:

诺亚鸽子的近况：
We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon.

我们是乐汉夫妇，住在得克萨斯州“野玫瑰救援农场”，也是诺亚鸽子的家。

After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos.

当我们看到网络报道诺亚和兔宝宝的故事（它们的故事已被广为传播），我们想在此附上它们的近况和几张新相片。

We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him.

我们第一眼看到诺亚，就感觉到它很不同寻常。
Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch...

虽然兔宝宝是它的最爱，诺亚如今也帮忙农场的其它动物宝宝。。。

诺亚的第一窝兔宝宝，已近长大，可随时被释放。

Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch...

如今，诺亚也帮忙农场的其它动物宝宝。。。

How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers...and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby. Noah is truly, truly a God-send.

农场有这么一只全职，有柔软羽毛的育婴者，多么神奇！当动物婴儿蜷缩偎依到它温暖的羽毛下时，它拥抱它们。。。它的“咕咕”声音如同摇篮曲。诺亚真是上帝赐予的呢！
