My computer broke and one of the discs was damaged beyond repair which meant I lost a lot of stuff. Fortunately, it could have been a lot worse as I had spent some time sorting out files recently, however I had lost all the puzzles of which I had hundreds if not thousands, I had prepared for books, so I’m back at square one again – but that’s much my fault for not pulling my finger out before on these.
I saved a baby bird last week who had got itself trapped between the two sections of our kitchen window. I had thought perhaps it had fallen down, but then I realized that the gap is too small at the top for it to have fallen down so somehow it must have flown up and got trapped.
I had to very carefully lower the bottom section of the window so it got past his body so he could then fly into the kitchen so I could then get him to fly out either through the window or out the door. It was nerve wracking as I had to be very gentle and do it slowly so I didn’t crush his wings – and the window is heavy, it doesn’t have any mechanism for raising or closing so it really was very stressful! Not helped by the parent birds who were flying around outside shouting instructions.
In fact it was the parents who had alerted me in the first place. I was sat outside and they appeared to be diving bombing me – then I realized it was the window they were flying close to and that’s when I saw the baby bird trapped.
He did fly away though – and I’ve seen what looks like a very similar one since which I hope is him!
