Birds of a feather

You know the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock into the fireplace?" What, you've never heard that one? Well, I give you Exhibits A: a little bird who came in through the eaves, got stuck in our wall for a couple days, and eventually worked his way out through the fireplace.

Of course the kids wanted to keep him. Colby thought we ought to go out and get some worms for him. I guess this wasn't the early bird, though, because he got promptly put outdoors, nary a worm in sight.
