A mockingbird has been living in our garage.

Which is all good and well until he starts crapping all over the car!

Once I was playing basktetball in my driveway as a youngster, and the ball missed the hoop and hit a tree branch that was holding a nest of baby birds we had been watching for several days, and a baby bird fell out and hopped into the road, and even though its parent tried to save it by leading it back onto the grass, it was too late and a car hit it and it died.

Yes and why is it whenever you wash the car, invariably a bird takes a dump on it! :angry:

Once a crow flew into my window while I was eating breakfast, but I never saw it when I was looking for it on the ground. Maybe it was Superman.

One time in high school the baseball field that my friends and I would go hit at was invaded by a rather dead goose. Laying right in the middle of the infield. Canadian, if I recall.

I had to pull a dead bird out of dryer vent once. We could even hear the poor thing trapped in there, but there was no way to get it out while it was alive.

Last year there was a dead bird on our porch that I had to clean up.

Indeed! 8O

One time while going on vacation our car hit a bird in mid flight. It's head was stuck in the grating so far that my dad had to find a pair of stick to pry it out. Of course by that time the head had become completly severed from the poor creatures body.

I've got two birds living above my front door. Every spring and fall the same two stinkin' birds are there. If I wasn't moving in June I'd just as well shoot them with a BB gun. I'm afraid of opening the front door as they are liable to fly in.

We were sitting in class one day and a bird just flew straight into the window. It made this sort of cartoonish squeak right when it thudded against the glass.

I remember having fond memories of a lovely, quiet Californian seafront town called Bodega Bay and its lovely feathered inhabitants. Namely Tippi Hedren.

There's been a dead hummingbird in the street for a couple days now... I'd push it onto the grass with a shovel, but... eh... shrug.

Luke, who did not saw anything unusual today.

Good job you're not a magician or a surgeon. We'd all be like this:

a blue heron landed in my pond yesterday, while walking Frances, she got very excited and wanted to get closer, but

she doesn't understand that we cannot walk on water.

Luke I have lots of hummingbirds at this time of year, wrens, robins, bluejays, cardinals,

doves, crows, hawks, owls,

mockingbirds, woodpeckers, ducks, cranes, an occasional eagle, purple martins, and probably

lots more
