Captains and Pigeons

Amber's dog, Captain Jack Sparrow, has been visiting with us while his family is out of town, consequently, my back door has been open to allow him into the back dirt. A few minutes ago, I heard Captain freak out and what sounded like crash. I walked out into the hallway to find a pigeon, in my house.

YUCK

Captain is now so worked up that he keeps running up and down the stairs and barking at the stupid bird. So I put him in the garage.

I managed to get the bird out by balling up a sheet and throwing it at the bird (which kept flying into the window). I managed to get it to fly out the front door.

Thankfully, it only crapped twice while it was in the house.

Even though the bird is no longer threatening our house, Captain is still patrolling and looking anxiously at the ceiling.

He just wanted a new home!! I'm impressed you got him out though- birds in enclosed spaces are not that easy to evict!

Sorry, that made me laugh! I can just see you throwing a sheet at the bird trying to will it to fly out. Although, that's probably the same thing I'd do--hopefully I won't have to ever do that, though.

I'm so impressed. I probably just would've shrieked and ran away and hid in a room until Spencer came home.
