A Cookoo's nest

[A Desert Rose]

I have a mostly live bird in my house... right now, at this very moment I know he's mostly live because he just flew from my living room into my kitchen sink to evade the cats.

Why does this shit happen when my Guy's not at home???

The cats have him now and are wandering around with him. As soon as one lets him out of their traps, he tries to take off.

Damn it all. I really have no time for this shit. It is almost 2am, yanno??? I couldn't sleep with this going on, even if I wanted to, which I don't, but still...

Birds are dirty creatures. I don't want to touch them. They're full of parasites and stuff... I remember this from my biology classes.

ah jesus...

thank you.

This is all just like that rat thread that rebecca had... Maybe less creepy, though. Rats and mice... nothing so creepy as them.

My Grandma believed that if a bird got in your house, someone was going to die.
An old Italian omen, like the cat stealing a babies breath tonight on the Sopranos. Man, I heard that one a lot growing up, too.

I opened the doors hoping he'll fly out but I think he's past being able to fly, again.

Pool scoop.. excellent idea. I'll just run right down to Wal-Mart and pick one up LMAO

He's lost in my house somewhere. Probably dead too. Jesus. I don't know where they stashed him.

Ohhh Ohhh you just reminded me . I sourced this from Wiki

"Christopher is paged by Paulie Walnuts who tells him to meet at a shopping center parking lot in an hour and to "look sharp". Christopher begins to get excited along with Adriana, since this may be his making ceremony. Christopher then shaves and dresses and drives to Modell's. Silvio then drives up along with Paulie and they all get into the car. They are then driven to a basement of a made man where Tony congratulates Christopher and Eugene (who is also being made) on their accomplishment. They then gather at a table where Tony makes a speech and that if they have any doubts to speak up now since "once [they] enter this family, there's no getting out". Tony continues that the mob life comes before anything else, even blood family, and if a soldier cannot earn due to health problems they will assist him. Tony then asks for their hands and draws blood by pricking them with a needle. He gives them both a picture of St. Peter which they then light on fire in their hands. Tony then asks them to repeat the phrase "May I burn in hell if I betray my friends". Christopher nervously eyes a raven which has landed on the open window, fearing it to be a bad omen."

Then the really freaky stuff starts to happen.......

Remember then Christopher takes his fiancee Adriana all those boxes of pre season designer shoes and what happens ??????

They are all too big.......http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c224/rebecca000/20.gif

See the Raven knew : nods knowingly :

oops ..........have you got a spa sweety ?

 

[graceanne]

LOL So, did you ever get rid of the bird?

Fuck NO!!! LOL He's flying around and perching on high stuff. I've got feathers all over the place and I bet bird shit too. I've had doors open for hours but now I'm afraid that Nando will get out.

Jane thinks we should call animal control...

LOL! I know that a later post says he's still alive, flying around dropping feathers and birdshit hither and yon, but my immediate thought on seeing this was "Look on your pillow -- that's probably where they'll put him when they're done playing with his broken corpse."

LOL We'll keep that in mind. The cat caught him a bit ago but Jane scared her and she dropped the bird, that of course flew off.... aaaaaagain. I have a big umbrella over my love seat in the living room and he's been perching there or on this really tall (6ft) house plant in the corner there.

 

[A Desert Rose]

I really am starting to feel creepy and superstitious about this whole thing... He's been flying around in here for like hours and it's not a good omen (from my childhood upbringing.)

I've got doors open. We might try shooing it out with a broom. It's not a pigeon, it's a sparrow.

I think you should call animal control.

They might want to put the bird to sleep if it was caught by your cat - I don't know where I have this information from but I don't think birds have a very good chance recovery after being punctured by a cat. Germs, or something. Again, I could just be pulling that out of my ass. But I was right about the champagne enema.

Tell me about the champagne enema... I've always said that those are dangerous. Am I right?

Jane caught the bird!!!!!! and took it outside. Just now. Thank God!

 

[graceanne]

Yay! On the other hand, I'm sad. This thread is giving me no end of amusement. lol

LOL... 9 hours he was in my house. I have feathers all over for such a little bird. And I never realized how many high perches I have in this house. I'm sure I have bird shit too, but I've not found any yet.

Wow - quite an episode there!

 

[minx1]

I'm a bit of a softy like that....and will do whatever to rescue things...even things I don't like like slugs. I also resuscitate spiders or flies if they fall in the bath lol....I blow on them til they get dry and start moving again

I do that for spiders (then put them outside) but not flies. *ew* I won't even touch flies.

I fish them out on absorbant kitchen roll....then blow *giggle*

not sure I'd fancy handling them myself......especially the big black hairy ones! *shudder*

 

[A Desert Rose]

Oh you guys are funny!!! LOL and Grace and Minx... you sound just like Jane.... she was baby talking to the bird to get it down off my hats. I have a grouping of antique dressy hats hanging in my bathroom and he was perched on one.

But she will kill bugs.

me in one of those hats... If he shit on them, I'll be sooo pissed off.

I have to admit I'm a wuss. I don't like flies, but I won't kill them. Kenny does all that, cause I'll just ignore them. I only kill bugs that bite. You know, lice, fleas, mosquitos . . .

Its a three-way tie then for wussiness. You, me and Rebecca. Have her tell her mouse story sometime... LMAO. The one she posted about was funny but this other one is even better!!!

Make that 4. Anything with no legs or more legs than I have deserves a wide berth...and I do mean wide.
