try and catch a bird? They really move baby. Suggestions?

Ok, this was freakin' Hilarious!!! ROFLMAO...

Oh man. <sides hurt>

Needed that tonight... damn grading and work...

Ok, here's the deal... when you find the bird... hopefully it's
somewhere you can turn the lights way way down low (no, not for that
silly...), get some work-gloves on, and perhaps a towel... when the
lights are down, birds just can't see crap. They shut up and stay as
quiet as possible ['cause they're food in the dark...] and attempt to be
unnoticed on headboards, or trees... whichever is available...

So, the way I see it... is get the awesome dogs away from where the bird
is, so you can work without distraction.. see mr. birdy... turn off
lights... put on gloves... grab towel... put towel and gloves right
around the bird... be sure to cover his head so he can't see out. When
he can't see he won't really freak as much. When this is done, you
should be able to get him out the door and release him without harm
done. If he's stupid enough to try it again, I say point the dog his
way. ;) It'll help make smarter birds on average anyway. ;) Oh, but
if he's willing to sit on your headboard and enjoy your nice home,
perhaps we don't want smarter birds... maybe best to release him. ;)

Reminds me of the birds that used to come down the chimney into our
family room... whenever our cocker spaniel got wind of one he went
freakin crazy... never did catch one, but it was all hell breaking
loose... We once grabbed a feather from the yard to show him... he sat
there and sniffed that feather almost to the point it went up his
nostrils... there was a sort of dazed look in his eye and the feather
just kept sniffing.. and sniffing.... We laughed our a$$es off for a
month over that one... :) We should have made him a bird-dog. :)

:^) Keep us posted!! :)

ps- the work-gloves are to try and save your hands from pecks... [just
be glad it's not a ticked off Mackaw!! :)]

I once had to catch a psychotic cockatoo (say that three times real fast)
that had gotten out of it's cage and had turned nasty (they go nuts when
they hit birdy-puberty), threw a *** over it and snagged it up - man
those things have beaks like pruning shears, I've seen them rip a casing
off a window sill (mine at that!). Lets just say he's got a new home now
and good riddance...
