Hi daffodil,

You've reminded me of my first "bird in the house" story. It came down the chimney (I think I'm going to check the flues again!) and got covered with soot. I opened the door and windows and tried to guide it out with a broom, which must've upset it even more. It got so frantic that it flew into the ceiling and lay stunned on the floor for a moment, which gave me time to gently sweep him outside. I noticed later that it had made a really lovely impression in charcoal on the ceiling of the livingroom, like a Japanese ink drawing. I left it there for posterity.

Hi, Daffodil-

We are hearing some great critter stories here.

I couldn't agree more about not killing any critter if you don't absolutely, positively have to.

In previous encounters with squirrels (not in bed!) we were told that you have take a squirrel at least 15 miles away, if it was nesting in your house. Otherwise, it will find its way back. So, you almost kind of have to pack up the car and take it away with you on a overnight.

JC
