Bart nurses an injured pigeon back to health which then gets eaten by Santa's Little Helper. They decide to send SLH to live on a farm whereupon they get attacked by an Ostrich and Bart stops it by strangling it to death and thus forgives SLH. This was literally when I subconsciously said I was done with watching newer Simpsons episodes and would just stick to watching the old seasons (although ironically this episode must have been at least 10 odd years ago now I think)
