There's a Bird in the House!!!

It was a rainy day and Jason and I were in the extra bedroom cleaning out the closet and trying to "organize" the baby stuff in the order we thought we needed it. Luckily we have big walk in closets to stash our diapers, car seats, high chairs, and boxes of clothes. The window overlooks the driveway and Jason told Nicole to go get the newspaper and he would watch her from the window. So out she goes and we hear her come in a few minutes later.She came upstairs a few minutes later out of breath reporting "There's a bird in the house! There's a bird in the house!" We looked at each other and figured she was probably serious so went to check it out. By the time we got downstairs it was stuck between the window and the blinds. Jason flipped the blinds so the bird couldn't fly out, opened the window, and took out the screen. It had access to the outside world, but wasn't smart enough to figure it out.

With a little help, it flew outside. By the bird feathers on the sliding glass door, we figure it flew around trying to find a way out and ran into the glass a few times.

We reminded Nicole to close the door after herself when she goes outside, but I don't think she could do it again if she tried. She said it was on the porch and flew in when she opened the door. Glad I wasn't home alone. I would have freaked out and not had a clue how to get rid of it. I was scared to go downstairs for fear it would fly into my head or something. We lucked out this time. It did poop in the window, but luckily it was contained.
