what do I do?!

I have NEVER moved so fast, was in bed it flew in the window like a bat out of hell and I've ran out slamming the door behind me.

Now tell me it's likely to fly out on his accord whilst I do the school run?

Saw a heron attacked by crows and moorhen just yesterday. Nests nearby.

UPDATE - Jack is gone, well he's perched on the top of my shed now and seems rather reluctant to leave, but I can get it to my bedroom... don't really want to though, it's covered in shit and black fluff and feathers.

OnlyWantsOne · 12/05/2011 19:05

Bet you £10 he comes back in.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 12/05/2011 19:06

Was it one of these here

HumperdinkFangboner · 12/05/2011 19:09

Big - certainly looks like that fellow.

Dad went in all calm like, then remained calm during the flapping stage and then threw a towel over him, took him downstairs into the garden where he promptly hopped onto the shed, where he remains.

Yay, birdie flew into the garden. Glad he's ok and hope the mess can just be wiped up.

Ooh at big strong dad. (((Dads)))
Well done dad.

HumperdinkFangboner · 12/05/2011 19:18

yes well done dad indeed.

I had a long, rambly phone call to the husband, I may have called him useless and told him I was fed up of doing all the donkey work in this house. Blush

Glad it's out - can you sleep somewhere else tonight and deal with the feathers and shit tomorrow?

I sympathise with the rant - my DH is well used to mine (works away all week).

spiderlight · 12/05/2011 19:41

Yay, glad he's OK!

ChinnityRhino · 12/05/2011 19:42
