Bird in the House

[laura_seabrook]

OK, a few minutes ago I heard a THUMP from the kitchen, looked around from the PC, saw a streak and heard another THUMP!

There was a bird in my house (see photo)! It nested on top of the curtains. I didn't know what to do, so I woke up Kevin and together we were able to get it out of the house by me keeping the back door open, and closing any nearby doors, and Kevin gently poking at it with a curtain rod.

I can only guess that it flew in via the open window in the laundry. Kevin had opened it during a really hot day, and Xena had even used it twice to come inside, so we left it open. I closed it down to half height now, so hopefully no more birds.

A bird in the house...is pretty much my worst nightmare.

What kind of chicken is that?

It looks very much like a Kingfisher. If you have Kingfishers Down Under...

I was just about to say the same thing, and yeah we have Kingfishers down here :)

It's either an Indian Minor Bird, or a Kookaburra.

We do, and they're called Kookaburras locally.

Give him a frog and he'll be happy.

I know this song...

I'll get my coat, shall I?

Heh heh. I would, if the dogs and cats hadn't got to them first!
