After hours of trying to reach agencies by phone on a Sunday night, I
finally got the name, address, and phone number of some people
licensed by the state of Arizona to rehabilitate wild birds. They told
me how to keep it alive overnight, and I'm happy to report that it
chirped in its KFC box all the way to its new home. They said it was
healthy and they would take care of it. (How he got in the box in the
first place, I don't know. I think a neighborhood kid must have found
it on the ground, shaken and scared but unhurt, and put its box on my
doorstep because his mother wouldn't let him keep it. ("Oh, give it to
the nice lady in number 23. She'll take care of it!")

Anyway, now I can get back to craning my neck to see what the
neighbors are doing. Um, I mean back to what passes for my normal life.

Thanks to everyone who expressed concern or gave good advice. (Where
was Elfrida Clagg when I needed her?)
