She grabbed onto the broom, which was unexpected and really sweet, and I got her inside. I took her outside and made her a little shelter. I went to get her some bird food, and she had already left. It took her about fifteen minutes to fully recover from her accident

A few years ago, we had a little English sparrow knock himself out when he flew into a porch post on his way to one of our feeders. I guess his avian GPS wasn't working that day  When I looked out, he was lying on his back with his feet up. My first thought was "Crap, he's dead", but we went out to check on him. He was very much alive, and after a few minutes in my wife's hand, he blinked his eyes, shook his feathers and took flight. We were glad he was OK, and it was cool to get to spend a few minutes with him.

Those pictures of the chickadee are great. They're cute little birds, but can be quite scrappy with each other when fighting over a feeder spot. They're fun to watch.  ~Jim

Well done, Lauren,

I saw this stopper, just now, and thought of your little chickadee.
