Well not really, but during story time with Jillian Friday afternoon we heard some strange sounds coming from the fireplace. Upon further investigation, I spied some feathers, lots of soot and 2 legs dangling from that little hole where the air goes up the chimney from the fire place.
MMM-what to do. I called a few local chimney sweeps and left messages. Called Jason at work (like he can do anything from there), finished reading our stories and left to pick up the other 2 from school.
My friend Lisa suggested calling the SPCA. So thats what I did. They called back and said to put a light in the room and maybe the bird would make its way into the fireplace. No go its too big of a bird. They said they couldn't come today, but someone would call tomorrow. Great.
Jason tried to take apart the fireplace so the whole top would fall down and we could grab the bird and hold a large plastic bag close to the opening, close all the doors and open the windows just in case in got loose. Not knowing pigeons, we decided not to risk it and wait till Saturday.
Saturday rolls around, SPCA arrives. He just popped the fireplace down grabbed the bird and let it loose outside. Of course he was covered in soot and so was the hearth, but the bird flew away unharmed.
