I quick grabbed the closest thing I could...a tea towel and wrapped him in it to get him outside.
"The camera?" asks hubby. "Yes" says I. The picture is blurry unfortunately because we moved just before the little guy was in full view and standing up on the towel. He was sooooooo cute! Just a young one. He wasn`t hurt and quick as a whip, flew off. Not sure what kind he was because I`m not up on birds, but he was grey with a little yellow stripe. Heroes for the day. One more successful rescue and the first bird one. Usually the cats end up getting them, but this little guy kept landing on my dried peonies above the cupboards instead of up higher. We won`t mention the dead little mouse I almost stepped on in my bare feet. The joys of having cats.
Did the white squares behind the table. Now after work and groceries today I`ll move onto another small spot. Can`t wait to get this done! It will be nice to have the kitchen back to normal.

So pleased you managed to rescue this one. Our cats bring in all sorts of offerings. The female cat is the worst as she brings them in alive and lets them go. Apparently she is trying to encourage us, her kittens, to hunt!
I am happy the little bird is fine.
Here's to refinished kitchens.
Love Jeanne

Wasn't that nice your your cat to bring you a little present!! LOL
We had a bird in the house last year. DH said he came home from work and heard something in the basement. When he opened the basement door a bird flew out into the kitchen! He must have come down the chimney and came out the clean-out box under the flue!! It's quite a trick to get them out of the house again!

I'm glad the little bird survived. And that it was so easy to get it out of the house.
Good luck with your kitchen project. When it's all finished you'll look back and say it was worth it.
I'm glad that you saved that sweet little bird! What a nice story.

Blessed bird! Our cats have caught birds, bunnies, and ducklings from our pond. If I spot them at their stalking, I try to chase them off. Sneaky little buggers, aren't they?
It's made a good to start my day to read about your successful rescue, even though the picture is a bit blurry you can still tell that it is a youngster - if it had been a British bird I could probably have told you what it is but am not up on US ones I'm afraid. Naughty pussy cats! - but it's a natural instinct.
I`ve done the same many times Lee-Ann :) Looked on horrified after hitting publish LOL
tea
