Crazy Bird

July 17/07 The Weather Pixie: Niederrhein



Had been an eventful day for man of the house! A small bird had been hiding in our garage, could not be found,only heared. So m.o.t.h. tried to locate it, no luck. We decided that it must be sitting in the rainpipe leading through the garage, because it kept chirping also outside. Decided to get a ladder for Landfrau (of course) to climb on the roof to have a look, then suddenly bird showed up in the garage. Well, I had to leave the house,and when I came back I found a completely messy kitchen, stove pulled forward,dishwasher the same,woolmice and grease smirking at me. Fortunately both devices are not attached to the wall (stove and fridge,not grease and woolmice,mind you).

Turned out the bird had decided to come into the house and had gone plum hiding behind the kitchen gadgets. In the meantime it was running around in the garden, calling for its mum, but it seemed, that with all the handling it had kind of adapted man of the house as a mum and would not leave him alone. By that time I could have wrung its neck, cute little,poor bird or not.

Thank heavens bird family seems to be united by now, have not heard any chirping sounds no more.

And man of the house has missed his chance beeing St.Francis ........

My sister birds, you owe much to God, and you must always and in everyplace give praise to Him; for He has given you freedom to wing through the sky and He has clothed you…you neither sow nor reap, and God feeds you and gives you rivers and fountains for your thirst, and mountains and valleys for shelter, and tall trees for your nests. And although you neither know how to spin or weave, God dresses you and your children, for the Creator loves you greatly and He blesses you abundantly. Therefore… always seek to praise God.
