Saurabh Sharma - our guide to the city of Delhi - asks if we want to see a bird hospital. Of course I do - both in honor of Rosie, and of the North Carolina Raptor Center. This was not what you'd think. Apparently the animals also possess the "Buddha Nature". This hospital specializes in vegetarian birds only. We get a chance to walk through the hospital but we must go reverently and without shoes. I'm praying silently that there are no abrasions on my feet as I gingerly step past bird droppings and spilled seeds in my bare feet. No pictures allowed inside. It feels like a tour of a Buddhist temple. And it probably is.
