A bird in the hand...

well, I didnt as much capture this as I did save it...

It had bounced off the front window, and I picked it up before the cats got it.... took a couple of minutes for it to wake up, then it wouldn't leave me.

I tried tossing it in the air so it could fly away, and it flew to the ground a couple of feet away and looked at me, so I picked it back up again. I explained that it couldn't sit on the ground or it would be eaten and tried again. This time it flew back and landed on my arm...

So I wandered around with it for about 20 minutes while I did other things. Then it cheeped at me so I tossed it in the air again and it flew off to a tree....

 

jesus, hotwater, are you a noob or something? you should know better by now than to say anything to chronictom other than "i agree completely oh great and wise one."

 

if you have nothing better to do then to try to cause problems, please stay out of my threads

 

i'm gone, shall leave alone to cause your own problems.

:leaving:

 

aaaww you saved him! see!! birds aren't as dumb as everyone would like to think.

 

Sometimes the pigeons down by the waterfront let me hold them...while they eat my bread...
The ducks and geese will eat out of your hand too. Canada geese are huge up close...they are a bit intimidating, the pimps of the waterfowl.

 

on the subject of the finger in the pic... I am pretty sure the universe is trying to tell me something... the nerves in the end of it are all screwy now, with it being extremly senstive on the top of the finger, just behind the nail...

which is exactly where I smacked it between a 2x4 and a rock today.... damn near made me pass out.... lol

 

ooouuucchhhh!!! take care of your hands... you're gonna need them for many years to come.

 

I caught shrapnel in my left hand , my thumb is all dorky looking, I used to have this Evil nail on it,, I could puncture a pop can with it ,,pttf at one time a soup can.. Theres more keratin build up in this one nail than there is in all my fingers..

 

Looks like some sort of finch with that short conical beak.

Parrot finch?
