Yes, I'm a hero!

Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day...

My sis and I were getting all the decorations ready for my cousins wedding this weekend.  We had a million things to do 4 kids and no time to spare. While we were painting monograms on  pumpkins a bird flies into her front window. 

We went out and looked at the bird, who was still alive but stunned.  After the bird not moving for two hours I googled what to do. 

Google told me to take it to an animal hospital.  I then called the local animal hospital and they told me to call the wildlife refuge center.  I call them and they said to bring the bird in.  They closed at 6:00pm and it was 5:15.  They are located in a northern suburb and we were in a southern suburb.  My sister says "I'm not driving up there"  and I said "I'm not driving up there"...

5 minute later  we are driving like maniacs through rush hour traffic with a bird in a shoe box.  We made it with two minutes to spare and saved Lil' Pumpkin the Cedar Waxwing's life!  They gave him some anti-inflammatory and pain meds and think he will make a full recovery.

The Wildlife center said they had a ton of birds being  dropped off yesterday for flying into houses.

    Crazy! Must be something in the air, a bird flew into a window of our building and dieddied. It landed in front of a door and people were walking in and out and just.stepping over it, it was awful. The door kept pushing it back and forth. Operations came and got it.

    Yes Super, and we came from the border of Apple valley/ Rosemount so you can imagine how fast we drove.

    Aww what a nice story. I'm glad the bird will be ok, even though I absolutely HATE birds.

    Wait...who hates birds?!  I need more info...

    (way to go, penny!)

    lol

    You are a better person than I. I would have (and actually have) closed the blinds and waited for DH to come home and deal with it. "What bird?" Embarrassed

    haha.
