This little dude flew into my house when I left the window open, the best part? I was inside when it happened

That's why I say bird watching is a better hobby than fishing. How often does a fish randomly jump into a fisherman's house?

He was a bit scared and didn't really want to fly, so I grabbed this long stick that I use to open the skylight, opened the skylight with it, and then let him hop on the stick, and lifted him out Tldr: I got him out safely

I had a bird fly into my house once. It was repeatedly bumping up against my big window, trying to get out. I walked over and tried to pick it up and it spazzed out, so I just held my finger out. To my amazement it hopped right up onto my finger! Then I walked it outside, held it up, and it flew away! I have no idea how it knew that I was helping it, but it knew.

"If I look at the wall, he can't see me".

Or maybe it's embarrassed "How could I mistake this place for my nest? Am I stupid?"

“If I look at the wall, he can’t see me”.

Pretty sure that is also what the breeding feral pigeons on my balcony are doing, peekaboo 😆

So funny to see the clumsy young birds all around.

She looks resigned to her fate to live on top of that picture for the rest of her life.
