I woke up this morning, stumbled into the kitchen for some breakfast, and there was a baby bird flapping about, trying to fly through the closed windows! Ummm, a bit of a shock, really. I don't know how it managed to get in because all the windows were shut, unless a flatmate had closed them earlier and failed to notice the bird. A friend who lives on campus has had 10 pigeons fly into her room since September! So I sent her a text asking for any tips on how to get them out. Myself and a flatmate together managed to, eventually direct the poor little bird out of the window. We used a spatula to guide it in the right direction (that does sound a bit dodgy - don't need to call out the RSPCA, we didn't harm it).
It was really cute though, it was only about an inch and a half tall. When it was sat on the polished window sill at one point, it kept on skidding around! Awwwww! Its rare you get to see a bird that small, so close up. It made me thank the big guy upstairs for all the tiny creatures in the world. Its so easy to take these beautiful things for granted.
