Birdaggedon

At least that's what my wife called it. So I'm up to take the dogs out and when I open the door 5 small birds scattered out from the wreath (not a Christmas Wreath), but they didn't scatter the same direction. 3 shot outside and 2 came in, so let the adventure begin.

Leaving the door open, I ocked up the dogs and got a broom to try to guide the birds out. After a short while, I got one to sit on the broom and I carried out to the front door. It then flew away. The other one too a bit longer as it trapped itself under our china cabinet. By this time my wife comes out of the bedroom, sees the door wide open and calls out to me. I explained what had happened and the current status.

Well this little one was still alive and was not moving anytime soon so I took the dogs just outside the front door (also leaving the patio door open) and let them do heir business while watching for the bird to fly out (Fail). So, I locked the dogs back up and continued to try to free the bird from under the cabinet. I spooked it enough that it came out and then eventually went out the wrong door (patio). I say wrong because it's four siblings (I guess) were sill just outside the front foor.

The bird then just sat outside the patio door for a while. See pictures below.

Picture on the right shows a close up of the bird.

Picture on the left shows how small it was (That's my Wavemaster puching bag behind it).


I walked out to relocate the bird to the front door, but it got spooked again and managed to fly into the bushes behind the fence (Top Picture). It later just flew away to a near by tree. I pretty much deemed it safe.

What a way to start a day.
