Hmmph. Just when I'm ready to write off the entire human race I run across a story
like this that keeps my hope alive. Whaddya think?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58814977
"A pet bird belonging to an Afghan girl who was evacuated from Kabul after the Taliban's takeover has found a new home with France's ambassador in Abu Dhabi.
Xavier Chatel took in the little mynah, named Juji, after the girl was stopped from bringing it on a flight from the United Arab Emirates to France.
The bird now lives at the ambassador's residence, and after days of coaching has even learnt to tweet "bonjour".
Mr Chatel has promised to try to reunite the girl with Juji one day."
