The Brids- finale

Okay, quick funny story about our little nest of birds. We were leaving to take Austin to His summer job in Ca. at 5:00am on Saturday. Steve opened the front door to put a milk bottle out and one of the birds flew into the house! That started a hilarious ( it's funny now but it wasn't then) chase through the house trying to get this bird to fly back outside. We opened all the doors in the house and tried pushing him in their direction by swatting at him while simultaneousley ducking to avoid him. We kept yelling "go outside!" which Gizmo promptly did, then we'd yell at her to come back inside while yelling "Get it outside!" all of this as you can guess was terribly confusing to poor Gizmo who had no idea what to do. I don't think she even realized there was a bird in the house because it stayed up high. Anyway, Steve finally cornered it in Austin's room, caught it and released it outside. Now I am more serious than ever about finding an owl for my porch!
