I like birds, love their beauty. I love to use vintage bird graphics, see my banner. I however do not like birds in my house~ I was getting ready for work this morning, it was about 7:15. I was half dressed in the basement trying to get ready. I heard someone let the dog in. The next thing I know, there is a bird flying down the stairs. My eyes must have been bigger then saucers. He was flying right towards me. Instead of staying calm I freaked, screaming my head off. I ran and the bird flew. I must remind you I was not fully dressed. I ran to the door to get out, the next thing you know I was running up the driveway, clearing the deck steps and in the house. When I looked out the window I saw him lurking about.
I do believe our little Otis chased him into the house. Don't let the picture fool you he is about 10 pounds heavier.
My husband, son and Mom(visiting) went downstairs, no bird. I finally got dressed and went to work. I called a couple times throughout the day for the bird whereabouts, no bird. My husband asked were you hallucinating, did you see Elvis? When I returned home, still no bird. I hope he flew out when I bailed through the basement door. I will never live this one down. All I can say is, there really was a bird~
The lovely Nip has been on guard all day and I have not been in the basement yet~ Oh and another thing, I hope there were no neighbors out that early.
Oh how funny it would have been to be a fly on the wall!

Oh what a hoot! (Now that you look back on it.)*Ü* It isn't fun to be startled like that. Even a small bird can be frightening. I hope you're right & it did escape.
Thanks for the smile this morning!

OHmygosh...this is too funny! NOW. I'm sure it was'nt at the time...thanks for letting us have a chuckle at your expense. I've had those "wild life encounters" as well, never pleasant. And they are probably more scared than we are! LOL.

Ohhhh...I've had that happen to me a few times! What was even worse was that one time the bird started to panic and kept dropping little gifts all around the house while trying to find it's way out...bad kitties!
