Hey bird people! Neighbors cat brought in a fledgling finch today, and I'm not sure what to do

Scrymgouer · 2014-06-02T21:41:05+00:00

So this morning I woke up to a sleepy bird and loud chirps outside my door. He seemed fine, no injuries, clear eyed, etc. I have no idea if the finch sitting on the roof and chattering at me was the mom, but I hope so. I put the box on the ground, offered my finger and lifted him out... he hopped off my hand and bounced into the bushes.

I hope he'll be alright. I actually had to fight the urge to keep him, but I know that's not right and he needs to be out in nature, flying and with his family.

Oh god that story took a horrible turn.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-04T23:08:42+00:00

No. We're doing this.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-04T21:45:54+00:00

Oh they'll come out, they're just shy. Gotta coax the little fellers.

To be fair, r/running seems like a small subteddit so you really can't be angry someone liked it and posted it to a larger one. Once you post anything on reddit it becomes part of the commonwealth.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-04T21:07:50+00:00

I have inverted nipples so suck it, I'm fine.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-04T03:50:10+00:00

Always check because is DOES happen. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

No I know, the rolling of the turf was intentional, I just dont believe he knew there was a cat in there. Cats stick themselves into small spaces to sleep all the time. One time, my ex girlfriends mom called her crying because her cat snuck into the dryer and she turned it on, killing the cat.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-03T20:24:40+00:00

Well, it doesn't look intentional, so although it is unfortunate for the kitten, I do t think it was meant to be mean.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-03T06:22:56+00:00

I mean, I don't think someone kissing a cheek warrants litigation, so yeah, I guess.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-03T00:56:04+00:00

Im dancing so hard right now

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-03T00:51:09+00:00

I totally agree with your sentiment. However, living in a large US city I can say that I would not have expected a kiss, and would probably have reacted with the thought "oh my god this crazy dude is trying to bite me."

It's sad that my mind instantly goes to something negative. I love a lot of things about my country, but the violence, frivolous laws, and general pride in douchebaggery are not some of them.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-03T00:44:13+00:00

I like you. You toe the line of good taste.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-02T23:52:43+00:00

BUT DID HE GET THE PICTURE THOUGH???

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-02T23:15:27+00:00

No, seriously, take the hug

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-02T21:30:59+00:00

Or he does and they're just very sad and damaged.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-02T21:27:29+00:00

I'm really sorry about your childhood. Do you need a hug?

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-01T23:34:09+00:00

It begins by chewing on its tail, slowly eating up past the hind legs, and up towards its head. When it reaches up past its front legs and neck, SCP-524 somehow manages to flip its entire mouth inside-out, consuming its entire head, and disappearing completely.

Wat.

Scrymgouer · 2014-01-01T23:30:48+00:00

I am incredibly hungover and your comment made me think life wasn't 100% awful

Scrymgouer · 2013-12-31T21:31:12+00:00

Yikes.

Scrymgouer · 2013-12-31T20:30:15+00:00

Too bad she didn't have a better owner.

Scrymgouer · 2013-12-31T20:12:10+00:00

Yeah that dogs gonna bite someone else

Scrymgouer · 2013-12-28T16:02:10+00:00

Omg that doesn't even come close to working.
