Our excitement today was trying to chase the young baby robin out of our garage... It was old enough to fly.... Well kind of anyway.. We tried to get it out last night, but it was scared and kept flying up into the top of the shelves and stuff...
This morning it was cheaping its head off for its mom.... But when we opened the door it wouldn't fly out... It had made quite the mess of the floor and our cars...
Neither one of us could chase it away... But then Loyce got the idea that it was thirsty, and put a small pan of water out by the open garage door... We didn't watch, just went back into the house... And after a while we couldn't find the bird anymore...
We think it flew down to get a drink and then it was almost outside so it flew away....
Never did mess on the motorcycle... I guess because there was nothing above it for the bird to perch on...
We spent the afternoon going back up to the center of town retrieving one of our cars from the repair shop.... Of course it was done right at evening drive time so that made for a slow return of ten miles thru the city streets... The freeway was almost a parking lot coming home, so we never got onto it...
With a couple of million folks living and working here in KC, the commute can be brutal... Glad we don't have to do that every day......!
Nothing else here other than the same old same old...

Glad the bird left on his own. They seem to get disoriented and don't know what to do. What a good idea to place some water near the open door!
ReplyDeleteHappy bird, happy Rod. That works. I always wonder about the birds that get trapped in Walmart or Home Depot and the mess. Now wouldn't that look good on a resume - bird poop cleaner. I am so thankful I no longer commute anywhere. However, living in Billings for the last years of my career - there really isn't much of a commute.
ReplyDeleteCommuting is a thing of the past for me and I'm so glad about that as I used to drive back and forth over the Malahat every day.
ReplyDeleteHope that little Robin finds its home nest - nice job on helping it out.
