Not cool. Not cool at all!!!!

So, I took today off work to bake my son a cake and "deep clean" his bedroom for him. It is such a beautiful day outside (high is 77), birds were chirping, wind was carrying a nice springy breeze across my yard, so I thought I would open all my windows and doors and let my house "air" out.

I have been in the backside of the house cleaning my son's room. I came to the front part to check on the cake I have cooling to see if it is time to ice it and as I walked into the livingroom, I had to literally duck and dive to the floor.

A Flippin' bird is in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is scared of me and thinks I am going to hurt it, so it keeps dive-bombing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wth!!!!!!!?????? I don't wanna have to whack it with the broom, but if it does not find its way out of my house soon, I will be forced to take action. oh yeah, and it needs to quit dive-bombing me!!!!!!!

hm... find something thats soft, but a blow won't kill it o: You might just put it in shock, or knock it out. Then lie it on your porch or something and check on it.

Maybe batting it with a broom might knock it out but not kill it.

Or... get a blanket, and when it flies at you, either grab it with the blanket or toss the blanket on it and the weight will push the bird down.

Looool, I'd use a bola.

But you probably don't have one, so grab a blanket and tie something heavy to the ends of it.

Or you can always try the tazer option...

Yeah cuz everyone has a tazer lying around ;p lol. Never go to bed without mine by my side.

Smack it with a frying pan! xD I feel so mean saying that D: I wouldn't wanna hurt an animal, but I know how it feels when there's one thats a pain in the butt in the house.

I've had that happen to me to Spirit. Just grab a blanket or something...snag it when u have a chance and relase it outside.

Gotta do some recon to see were it stays still then stalk the prey, i mean bird, and get it.

adopt it. You adopt all the other animals that happen by.

**Spirit** · 03-09-2009, 06:29 PM

lol - I dun wanna kill it either yos.

But, I also do not want it in my house.

My cat seems to think this is real cool though. She climbed up in a chair in the living room to watch everything. I swear I heard her laughing at me.

My hubby says to just leave it alone and it will fly out on its own. Well and good. i don't feel like chasing a bird all day. But, the damn thing needs to leave me alone also.

Quit dive-bombing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I cannot throw a blanket on it because it is staying up on the rafters of my ceiling, which is about 15 feet tall, because it is kinda-like an A-frame.

Gosh Yosei.. you changed fast there HAHA

When we were little we once had a bird flew into our apartment too (8 floors up).. I took kt with me and we hide in the bathroom until my mum came back from grocery shopping...

And magpies here in aussie likes to bomb-dive people with blonde/fair hair... i wonder if that had something to do with it...

Glad its out though! At first I thought you were gonna tell us the bird ate your cake.... XD

**Spirit** · 03-09-2009, 10:58 PM

LOL Hess. You always make me laugh.

And yeah, if it was up to me, he (the bird) could have the cake. I asked my son what kinda cake he wanted and he said a double-layered chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing.

WAY too much chocolate for me. I hate chocolate. But, it is his b'day, so he gets what he wants.

So glad my hubby picked and upside-down pineapple cake for his b'day, which is Friday.
