A Wild Bird Friend

The other morning we were outside planting some shrubs when this bird flew in between where Matt and I were standing and landed right at Asher's feet. I thought it was weird, then he hung out for like an hour or two. Then I thought that was really weird!! It was too funny, it would just follow me around. Sometimes it would fly across the street and walk around over there, but it would just fly right back afterwards and land on my leg or just right at my feet.

Matt was calling me Ace Ventura because animals just really like me. I thought I was in that book, "Are you my mother?"!
When you get a bird that's that friendly you can't expect to see it too long. I'm sure a cat got to it later that day. We didn't see it later that day or again.


Here is a little video of our little friend. The bird could fly totally normal, but it did have a foot that kind of just folded under, poor thing.

I hope that wasn't the bird I got with the mower. I guess it would be a good thing if it was since then it was flying.

Cute blog, Jaci! After you finished my hair (which I love, btw), I was curious to check it out. Asher is so cute. And those pictures with the bird are really cool.

I can't believe that Matt didn't shoot it....and then hunt down it's family and shoot them too! I guess you've had a positive effect on him Jaci. Good work!

Are you my mother?

I will have to tell you sometime the crazy bird experience that Kurt and I had two summers ago. Lets just say, Kurt ended up with a bleeding head wound.
