Hi Mommy!


We had a little excitement here the last couple days. Yesterday morning Josh noticed a bird trapped in our fireplace. Since it's completely enclosed behind glass we weren't sure how to get it out so we called the property managers and they didn't know who to call either. Meanwhile I'm getting worried for this little bird as I think it had been there for awhile. While Josh was gone I remembered hearing really loud chirping in the living room, but I didn't think anything of it. After Josh spotted it it all came together. It was really hard to see the bird because it blended in with the fake logs. After my Dr. appointment and Josh got back from a meeting in Springfield, I started taking the fireplace apart because we still hadn't heard anything from the property managers. After removing a few pieces it was clear how to open the glass. The bird made it out safe and sound and met up with a couple friends. This morning the property managers called back and I told them we got it out ok. Just as I hung up the phone Josh called downstairs to let me know it was back. What?! So I went upstairs and I think this was a different bird because it was a bit bigger. Josh had to go to work and so they were going to send someone to take care of it. After Hayden ate his breakfast I decided to take matters in my own hands and got it out myself. A little later a maintenance man came over and checked outside and there was a nest with no mesh screen like the other units had so he took care of it and two birds flew away. As soon as I shut the door I thought I'd better check to make sure there wasn't another bird in there and sure enough there was. Here was go again. This bird was even more active than the first two, but I got it to the door and it flew away. Hopefully this is the end of our bird adventure.
