Stuck bird....

My mother in law was very annoyed with the rats roaming around her home. It was eating her food, destroying her groceries and posing a serious health threat to all at home. It made a huge hole in her kitchen door and was a huge menace and peed all over the kitchen, behind the stove and all. So she declared war on them and placed some traps to trap them. But unfortunately, this curious bird somehow wandered on one of the sticky glue traps she set out and well, yours truly here went on the rescue mission... and it was a hard one..

I manage to calm the bird a little and freed him from the sticky glue, but he was half covered in it... I had to bathed him and pulled some of the glue from him..

Boy was he mad at me. He even pecked my mother who was visiting at that time... and threated to pecked us more....

since he was not fit to fly and could not even fly or even run properly, we had to give him room and board, called him "florida"(don't ask me why.. it was my hsuband who gave him that name)... and he had the freedom of the whole house... for a couple of days. We bathed him a couple more times and my step daughter and her grandmother (mom's mother) who came to visit us, trimmed the remaining glue off his feathers... and when he could run and flap a little, we released him back to his natural habitat, in the wooded area a little way off from where I stayed. Just hope he's keeping well and happy now he is free...
