Was his last name Deadbird? Mitch Deadbird? I bet it was a talking bird too but it didn't say "I'm hungry" so it died.

Birds don't need last names. They're birds, duh.

There was another time years ago. I was coming out of the dry cleaners and a rather large baby bird fell out of the nest (on the roof or something) and thunk, landed at my feet. Upon inspection of the area, there was another dead baby bird 2 feet away from the one that had just fallen. Either the mom bird wasn't happy with her spawn and was pushing them out, or the chicks weren't happy with their mom and jumped.

There was a suicidal bird outside the martial arts studio where my wife teaches one afternoon when I just happened to be there. It bounced off the front window and landed right in front of the door - where every kid who arrived would have to step over it.

So naturally, being a good guy, I went out there to clear away the corpse. I always hear that birds carry all kinds of diseases, though, so I didn't want to touch it. So I took a dust pan with me.

I got out there and bent down to scoop up the poor bird. My first swing didn't quite get him into the pan, so I put my foot down next to him to keep him steady while I got it under him. As I slid the pan underneath his body, he suddenly started to come back to life. I guess he was only knocked unconscious. He started flapping his wings and thrashing around, and I was so shocked that I rocked back on my heels, swinging my arms and the dustpan back behind me.

Just then, a little kid and his mother were getting out of their car right across from me.

"Mommy, Mommy! That man is hurting a bird!"

No good deed goes unpunished.

Back in college one summer, I was running a softball camp for little ones, and this little eleven year old who really did throw like a girl, nailed a low flying young bird, dead on arrival. And then they all looked at me, the "adult"and I just screamed like a girl and put a cone over it.

The next day, we saw the ants had eaten its face.

Awesome.

The computer lab at my school was all windows. The beginning of my senior year a bird died flying into one and landed on the roof of the floor below. The rest of the semester was more like Science class instead of Typography.

What does it mean when a bird is flying, then suddenly drops dead and falls in front of you.

This happened at a friend's wedding when I took a walk to get away from riff raff. The damn bird just dropped out of the sky in front of me.

A few years later I'm driving my daughter to school and BAM. A bird dropped right in front of the car. (I told her we were going home, a good hookie day.)

Then a few weeks ago, a bird dropped in front of me when I was driving to the grocery store.

What the Frost?

Has anyone else seen birds drop from the sky? (Aside from Brad Poynter in which the birds were either frightened to death from sonic booms or received shrapnel wounds.)

Recently, birds outside of my office started launching themselves at the windows. I thought maybe it was some springtime ritual but it has only happened on that one day and I'm still a bit unsettled by it.

The guy who runs the building that I office in is really cute. I'm always looking for reasons to talk to him but I have to tell you that "have you seen any dead birds outside my side of the building" is not the sexy conversation you expect it to be.

Apparently the birds found you irrestistable.

I think a bird sniper is shadowing you.

I don't remember if I posted about this, but two Summers ago, I was talking Shakespeare to someone over the internet and I heard a panicked squeaking sound. It was so cute, but sounded like it was in pain.

I rushed into the part of the basement where the sliding door is, and saw my cat standing over this little defenseless mouse. He hissed as I approached, and kept batting it around with his paws. It was running all over the floor, trying to stay alive, squeaking like crazy.

After a few tense moments, I was able to corner the cat and free the mouse. I picked it up by the tail and carried it outside. Then, my eyes watery by that point, I heaved a sigh and drop kicked it into the wetlands behind our house.

A mouse? You got weepy eyes for a cute little mou....oh nevermind. My cat catches baby chipmunks and plays with them before he kills them. I try to save them when I can but they always run right back to the cat.
