Ah. Many moons ago, I wore a yellow vest for my current employer and there was a bird.

I’ve always had a soft spot for birds (except for blue jays they’re jerks). I’ve always wanted a pet bird. If only I had the time.

Several years ago (check the post for when) there was a small bird of I know species (I still don’t know) that managed to make its way inside my place of employment.

It’s been in there so long that it was pretty exhausted. We are technically told not to touch them (germs and all), and they’ll either find their way out or else. Sweethearts we are.

Well this was an interesting experience for me, and it’s something that will remain a positive memory for me. I thought I’d share with you.

You know. Again.

Also there was a young hawk in the building once.

Thanks for reading!

I’m a Disney Princess

Taken by a coworkerBorrowed from google search who borrowed it from Disney, there’s a link..

It’s spring and with spring comes warm weather, people scantily dressed, and birds. Lots of birds. And when you work in a place with automatic sliding doors, birds tend to follow people inside.

A few days ago, at my workplace, there was a bird flying around. He’d been inside for well over four hours, flying back and forth. Finally he landed and a coworker pointed him out. With little hope but willing to try I gave chase.

Poor little dude was so tired that eventually I pinned him and I CAUGHT A BIRB!

I immediately ran outside with him and opened my hand. HE DIDN’T FLY OFF! Poor guy was tired and scared. I tried to set him in a shelf outside, nada.

I opened my hand up and tried to encourage him but he eventually hopped on my finger and sat there. After a few pictures (and a selfie, see below)…

…I carried him a little further from the action and he hopped off and eventually flew away.

I may or may not have ran around telling coworkers I was now a Disney Princess. One called me a bird whisperer, another called me Snow White. Either way, I rescued a birb and I feel pretty cool.

Day. Made.

PS I may or may not have a story idea.
