Pretty Bird

For the second time recently I’ve heard a loud bang in the kitchen and ran outside and found a conked out bird on the deck.

If I wrote about it last time I can’t find it.

I ran out there and carefully picked it up in a t-shirt while assuring it that I would take care of it until it could fly away. I put it in a little box and left it outside.

The issue is we have two cats that hang out in the yard and target the bird feeders. One of them I can chase off. The other doesn’t care what I do except when I run the sprinkler.

I have found feathers out there more than once.

The hurry was to keep the stunned bird away from the cats until it regained its wits. Last time it took about 45 minutes and it was a sparrow.

This time it took only about 20. Look how pretty it is.

The first time I checked on it a bunch of times and it took awhile to fly away. This one zoomed away the first time I checked.

I wonder how many times this has happened and I didn’t know about it? I’m going to get some stickers or whatever you’re supposed to do for the window to save future birds.
