Noah the Dove 鴿子諾亞
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.
這些小兔寶寶，大約六天大，遭狗襲擊而成為孤兒。一窩五隻中的兩隻沒有幸存，但剩下三隻身體尚好。
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.
諾亞是動物複原中心的一隻尚未釋放的獨腳家鴿/原鴿。諾亞不斷地到兔寶寶的籠子裏探望 - 甚至在籠子門前睡覺。
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，籠子裏隻有兩隻兔寶寶。但當諾亞在籠前挪移，讓大家驚訝的是...諾亞翅羽下...有一隻兔寶寶...在酣睡！那隻小兔寶寶已經爬過籠子，選擇了羽毛床，毫無疑問它到同窩夥伴處取暖!
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，所有動物們在一起，兔寶寶成長得很好。當兔子在諾亞羽毛下翻動，諾亞很小心地伸開翅膀包圍著小兔子，然後它們蜷縮偎依起來。當其中一隻移動，其它兔子開始四處挺出時，諾亞溫柔地用鳥喙將它們重新推回自己羽毛下。看到這一切，很美麗也很奇妙。。。
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.
這正如當我們需要溫暖和愛時，上帝對我們所做的。他將我們攏入他愛的翅膀下，用溫暖的搖籃保護我們。感謝和讚美神與我們同在，是我們唯一需要回報他的。
Update on Noah the pigeon:
諾亞鴿子的近況：
We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon.
我們是樂漢夫婦，住在得克薩斯州“野玫瑰救援農場”，也是諾亞鴿子的家。
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.
當我們看到網絡報道諾亞和兔寶寶的故事（它們的故事已被廣為傳播），我們想在此附上它們的近況和幾張新相片。
We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him.
我們第一眼看到諾亞，就感覺到它很不同尋常。
Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch...
雖然兔寶寶是它的最愛，諾亞如今也幫忙農場的其它動物寶寶。。。
Noah's first litter of bunnies, almost raised and ready for release.
諾亞的第一窩兔寶寶，已近長大，可隨時被釋放。
Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch...
如今，諾亞也幫忙農場的其它動物寶寶。。。
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.
農場有這麽一隻全職，有柔軟羽毛的育嬰者，多麽神奇！當動物嬰兒蜷縮偎依到它溫暖的羽毛下時，它擁抱它們。。。它的“咕咕”聲音如同搖籃曲。諾亞真是上帝賜予的呢！
He will cover you with His feathers. And under His wings you will find refuge.
Psalm 91:4
他必用自己的翎毛遮蔽你；你要投靠在他的翅膀底下。（詩篇91:4)
