Panic Over.

Goldfinch60

“Andy! Andy! Come quick!!” the wife yelled.

I raced to her, thinking she was hurt!

“Is that a dead bird in the garden?” she shouted,

I looked out and saw it,

A large brown bird lying still on the ground.

A smile came to my face,

I knew what it was.

I walked gently into the garden

Down to the bird.

Gently picked it up,

And replaced the metal heron

Back into its place

From whence it had fallen.

          You had me going there, Goldie. Glad it turned out well. Enjoyed it!

            Thank you Louis. We do feed birds in the garden and I have held many in my hand that have hit our conservatory windows but surprisingly very few fatalities.

            A fine write Gold. It's good if we can nurse back an injured bird. Hmm, I thought a cat was attacking a bird, until the cat did not move. it was a statue. doh! (too much sherry, Orchi).

            Cute and fun. Your picture is stunning. Lovely read. We have a fake eaglet on our garden and I love to see the real eaglets eating together with the pvc one.

              Im thinking this metal bird had slipped from the memory of your good lady as you had mentioned before. How great to see the amusement in this event and bring it before us with your style sir. I love the way you tell us your tails.

                Great write Goldfinch, if only all "problems" had such easy solutions!
