A happy little story

Krieg

At work this morning, doing a 12 hour stretch of manual labour, long day and a Sunday. So of course I'm not the happiest bunny.

After an hour and a half I'm on my break, out the cold smoking shed.
I notice out of the corner of my eye a little thing shooting back and forth in the reception
and the security guard chasing it. I go inside and its a tiny little bird has got in and wont fly out the door.
After a couple of minutes I threw my scarf on him and picked him up and brought him outside.

When I removed the scarf he was a little out of my breath.
so I perched in my hand and put my scarf under him.
Luckily he was fine and happily flew off again after 10mins.

Made my day

It looks like a bunting, I think that's what it's called.

Head looks a little small for a wren.

Birds are great in areas without many people about, a thrush landed on a fence near me when I was in the country once and it sat long enough for me to stroke it. Wee fella didn't think of flying away til all his mates did.

Compare with this.

Ah, that's goregeous. You've gotta love little birdies.

I was walking in Blackrock park a few years ago and a little bird like that hopped down to the path in front of me. I thought he'd fly away as I approached but he kept hopping along and would stop and I'd catch up and he'd hop a little more and face me. Went on for about 2 minutes. It was so cute.

During the leaving cert we had a break between exams for about an hour or so. Me and 3 others went to the football field in the school. We found a crow caught in the goal-net and he was in such a tangle i had to burn the net in a few places to get him out. Nobody had been in that field for at least 3 weeks before us so god knows how long he was there, he was weak.

After falling around for a while he started running and then flew

I felt the universe owed me for weeks after that haha

I don't know what it is about little birdies coming into our presences. It is really uplifting. I can see why a lot of people attribute spiritual connections to them. Especially robins.

There is a gorgeous bird in New Zealand called a Fantail. They hop around at your feet if you are walking on grass. Apparently because they eat the bugs that you turn up in your wake. The Maoris have a lot of stories and superstitions about them.

Thats definately a wren, they're so lovely! People used to eat them ack in the day believe it or not depserate times (no joke!)
I love all the fat little puffed up robins in my garden at the moment so festive!
