Fun, fun, fun….

I had to run a quick errand and got behind a school bus that of course had about six stops in 100 feet. Since the wind is not blowing off an iceberg today, I had the driver’s window down. I caught some movement in my peripheral vision and turned my head to look and a blackbird flew in the window. and bounced off the passenger side window. The bird flopped down on the floor so when I could turn a corner I did, then bent over to see if I could see the critter. That’s when all H broke loose and that sucker was all over in the van. Of course, it wouldn’t go out the window it came in so I had to get out and open the side doors to flush the bird out. This was a first for a bird flying in the window. Damn those things go nuts when they’re in a confined area.

thats funny stuff right there!

X2 Never in a vehicle. Where’s Chris Farley when you need him.

Pictures or it never happened.

In high school that happened to a friend of mine, except it was a pheasant!

you have all the fun Jimmy!!!!!1

My parents had a wood burning fireplace and at least once a summer we’d get a chimney swift or two that would somehow get stuck in there. Pain in the butt, but as a kid I kind of enjoyed it. Open all the windows, arm yourself with a football helmet, broom and tennis racket, open the fireplace doors and try to control the chaos while the bird goes absolutely crazy. For as nimble as those things are flying through the open sky, they’re not worth a s#!t indoors!

No worries about breaking a tooth on a BB with that one!

We once had the cat bring a bird into the house. You’d think it’d be injured or something of the sorts, but no! Thing was fully alive and flew all over the damn place with the cat in pursuit!! I believe my mom finally threw a blanket onto it and got it outside.

Another wild one I remember as a kid was when a squirrel got in the house thru my grandparents fire place! Now that was an absolute gong show! That one finally went out the basement patio door. But, not after and good 20 minutes of mayhem!

Nothing better as a kid than arming yourself with dual tennis rackets! Makes me think of “The Great Outdoors” when Aykroyd and Candy are fighting the bat…”he’s in the rafters, he’s refueling!”

Growing up there was a house at the end of the block that had some woods across the street and they had a deer break through a basement window and run around in the house.
