As I was writing the previous post, there was a loud noise at my kitchen window. It’s the second time this morning that it’s happened, and the first time there wasn’t anything out there to give me any clues. My best guess is that it was a bird or something trying to get at the sunflowers in a vase on my windowsill.
The second time it happened, I went outside again, and again, there was nothing. I looked all over – behind flower pots, the barbecue, the wheelbarrow – and didn’t see anything. However, as I went to go back into the house, something moved on the railing beside the door. This guy was just sitting there, giving me the stink eye.
I think it was him who was flying into the window. And I think he’s stunned because he just sat there while I was taking the picture.
He’s still there. I hope he’s not just waiting for his buddies to show up and get revenge.
We had a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker fly into our front door at our old place. He literally crashed the wrong way and then grabbed on to the window ledge, refusing to move.
We took him to a wildlife recovery centre nearby, but he died of brain trauma.
How is your bird friend doing?
I had a segull get blown into my passenger-side window while I was at the Wendy’s drive-thru one time. It scared the ever-loving shit outta me.
