Default Stupid blackbird, part II.

Some years ago, I wrote about a bird that perched on the backdoor handle of our French property, and tried to attack it's reflection in the glass.

This weekend I finished cleaning out the greenhouse, cleaned the glass inside and out and finished off by spraying clean water from the hose onto the glass to clear any debris.
I then left the door open, to help it dry out, closing at around 5pm. This was Sunday afternoon.

I've just been out into the garden to put some scraps out for the birds, when movement INSIDE the greenhouse caught my eye.
On inspection, there was a female blacky INSIDE, trying to get out.

I opened the door and encouraged her out. She was too weak to fly, and so hungry she was almost eating the scraps out of my hand as I put them down.

Bird brains, eh?

You're having a laugh, right?

Poor thing, getting trapped inside an invisible glass box.... Was she OK in the end?

Seen her this morning, feeding...........probably STILL feeding.

Then, in two years when she's massively overweight, she can blame me when Mr. Blackbird complains.............
