Baby Bird

A baby bird somehow fell onto my balcony last week and scared the hell out of me! I was attending to Clara when I heard this fluttering sound against the window. Initially, I looked around but could not see anything. Then I saw the baby bird in the planter that I am growing salad leaves! It started to flutter its wings and bang against the window. It was like reliving my worst nightmare of being chased by a pigeon that had flew into the house. I locked myself in the kitchen and it was banging itself against the glass door that separates the kitchen and the living room.

Anyway, it stayed in my planter for about 2 hours before it finally managed to fly onto the railings. It was another kind of scary for me. It was like it was watching my every move! Argh!!! It was just standing there. I was wondering if it would just fall again when its legs got tired. It started calling for its parents and they finally guided it up into the trees again. That was before another failed attempt at flying and it smashed into my window once again :(

Wondering how I tooked these photos? I kept my windows and door shut all the time the bird was out on the balcony. The only time I opened an inch of the door was to take the second photo of the bird :) I am really scared of birds!

Sonya and Clara really liked it. They were waving at it. Clara kept calling it "dada" and Sonya had to correct her every time that it is not "dada"
