During the heavy storms we had a few weeks back, my sister was tremendously concerned about a trapped bird in a tree that turned out to be a bag!
We have a relationship where we take the piss out of each other and our facebooks are full of insults etc. We are very close, and love laughing about it.
Anyway, since then I have been taking photos of carrier bags stuck in trees, stuck to barbed wire etc and uploading to Facebook.
I need your help to name some of these "birds".
So far we have:
Bagpie
Carrier pigeon
Wired warbler

And also called her a great tit.
I know I'm being unreasonable! But it's hilarious! Please help!!! GrinGrinGrin

I once went into the garden late at night and fed a hedgehog (opened a tin of cat food and spooned it out next to the hedgehog). In the morning I was worried to see that the hedgehog was still there - it was in fact a plantpot!

Was any wine involved? I love the image of this.

My sister would never ever let me live a mistake like that down. However fortunately for me, she's the one more likely to do something like this. GrinGrin

My dad had a semi panic attack once about a snake in the garden. We live in the UK so not likely to be deadly SmileSmile Turned out to be a shoelace. We took the mickey for years about the deadly shoelace snake. He has been gone for 5 years. Everytime something remotely snake like is seen he is remembered and it makes us laugh.
