OT - Bird Encounter

17 years ago

OK, so I sometimes wait until the last minute...

I was getting some spider plants ready to mail in a newbie package. It was misting rain and getting dark. I decided to just cut a few babies off the plants in the hanging baskets. (A little too dark to dig the ones in my yard.)

Just as I snipped, a bird flew out of the hanging basket directly into my face. Squeal, chirp. And we took off in different directions.

Once I realized what had happened, I was laughing too hard to explain to my H. (He had come to rescue me when he heard the squeal.)

LOL Amelia, You probably scared it worse than it scared you! It was probably all bedded down for the night & then some human grabs it's bed & shakes it. LOL

Amelia, I too would have been running like a mad women! Now that it is daylight, give us an update whether there are eggs in the nest, did the bird come back, and what kind?

Love that story! We've had little scares here: occasionally I'm in the yard with the cat when a fox comes bounding up the hill, just over the crest into the grass, sees us staring straight at it and does an abrupt U-turn back out of sight. The cat is immediately on point and ready to chase the fox!
