Another of my stories. This is funny, well not for the bird, but it was hilarious. I hope the bird was ok in the end.

My husband was driving home from work, a flock of Rosella's flew in front of his car, he hit one. In his rear vision mirror he saw it hit the tarmac. He stopped, reversed, picked the poor thing up and brought it home. This was long before I had PBFD birds I want to add.

He rushes in the house, bird in a rag, gives it to me. Before I can really get a look, it get's it's bearings, and takes off in the house. We are frantically trying to let it gain access to outside. Hubby tries to catch hold of it before it smashes into the windows anymore times than it already has, pulls out half of it's tail feathers in the process. I have the door open, I am screaming at him, he is frantic, the bird hit's it's head on the door frame on the way out.

Pheew! Poor thing with interfeering human's. It is finally free, was only stunned.

So when hubby and I are driving along a few days later and another flock of Rosella's are in our path, I say to him if you hit one, don't pick it up off the road for God's sake, it will look at ur car and think, arghhhh, not him again, thank's but no thank's I would sooner take my chances on the road.

lol thanks for cheering up my morning

That story made my whole week! You should write a book! Poor widdle birdy! The tail feather part is still killing me! hahahahahahaha! K&OP

Glad you all got a laugh. It was quite funny at the time.

The bird did fly away. I guess it will have gotten new tail feathers long, long ago. Luckily it was not badly injured.

Stories like those are just unbelievable & yet you know that kind of madness exists.

Poor everybody.

It reminded me of my catching a brown bat in my bedroom while trying not to wake my 3 year old [we were visiting the farm].
I didn't know I could be so nibble.
