As I was sitting at my computer answering an email, one of the now-quite-big baby birds from the nest in my garden flew in through the open garden doors. I noticed the babies have been jumping out onto branches, practicing their flying, but this little guy decided to take it a bit further. Of course, he couldn’t find his way out again, so after flying around my livingroom for a bit, he ended up on my livingroom floor… I put on some leather gardening gloves and tried to walk up to him slowly. I got fairly close and he took off again around my livingroom, this time landing on the arm of the sofa… I tried again, he flew around again, landing on the back of the sofa… I tried again, the flew again… landing on the floor again. So I got a little fleece blanket and threw it over him. He walked out from under it and I grabbed him and brought him outside. He sat there for a bit and then flew off… I hope he hasn’t left too early…
