I know it's been a week since I've been able to post. I was too exhausted at the end of each day to post anything of our vacation. I'll get to that later though. I will say that I'm burned to a crisp!!! My shoulders really hurt so I'm not going to be long on the computer right now.
I just wanted to share our bit of excitement from last night.
We were sitting in the family room and Jay heard a noise. He asked if that was thunder and I turned the tv down so we could figure out what it was. It was the wings of a bird flapping in the chimney. After a while, Jay got aggravated with listening to it so he took a small net and opened the flue trying to either push the bird up the chimney or down to catch it and let it go outside. Well, it wasn't just one bird! Below is a picture of just a few in the fireplace.
After realizing that there were too many to handle on his own, he went across the street to a borrow a neighbors BB gun. After he realized that wouldn't work, he called a 24 hr. emergency pest guy. So, for $225 the guy came over and got over 50 birds out and closed the flue. He said that he didn't even get the tip of the iceburg! There must be atleast 50 + more still in the chimney. He'll be back this afternoon and also put a thing at the top of the chimney to prevent this from happening again. Thank the Lord he got them out of the fireplace with out letting any get loose. I had horrible visions of a bird flying rampant in the house!
Crazy huh?
