my Goldfinch story...

schuette · Post by **schuette** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 6:02 am

I was sitting at my comp quite the thing when a bird flew into my window....I looked out and saw a Goldfinch lying there....(excuse the shitty pics...I need to get a new camera)

I went down to see it and the poor wee thing was stunned..it let me stroke and I knew I couldnt leave it there as there's cats go around and it would have had no chance

it went onto my finger so I took it into my house...it got it's breath back flew around and then I opened the window and away it went

Now I dont know if its the same one but since then a Goldfinch has been sitting in the tree I can see from my window...I took a pic of it to finish my story but I cant post that the now as I cant upload from this comp...I do believe that it is my Goldfinch looking in to say thank you

Yay, Schu! Good job at helping the bird.

We have had similar experiences recently, although we have just let the birds recover on its own where they fell. One bird hit so hard that when I looked to the window, I saw all these wee feathers fluttering to the ground.

I think I am going to go back to using the window as a write-on/wipe-off board again, so the birds quit thinking they can fly there.

There's too many cats around this area..it was cute to get caught by a cat

So you have something against black birds?

nope but they're bigger and not as cute as wee Goldfinches....the red and yellow was so vibrant
