Your bike with a bird

[Johnno260]

Well I wasn’t expecting this, the parent bird was squished, this little guy was sitting in the road, and when I crouched down and put my hand near him he hopped on and then onto my bars.

Pushed the bike to the local pub, and he took some water from a cap, hung around for 10mins and flew off.

My wife had turned up with a box incase he was injured and we were going to call the RSPB.

Aw, wee shame. Hopefully he is old enough to fend for himself.

Ahhh

Isn't that a Great Tit? Don't have a tit frame by any chance do you?

Blue tit Well done for rescuing it.

I've twice rescued pigeons while riding. One was a racing pigeon and I phoned the owner and pushed the bike clutching the bird until he came to collect it. The second time I had the bird perched on my saddle for a while.

Another time I abandoned the bike to cross the road and carry a fledgling lapwing back into a field and away from the road. It's parents were not amused!

I couldn’t leave him there it was right where a car would drive.

I thought he was injured at first which was why I called my wife to come and pick him up, wife thinks I’m nuts picking up birds but my parents used to keep birds of prey so this was nothing.

I didn’t like removing the Jack door who kept coming down our chimney, those things look evil.

I raised a Jackdaw as it came out of a tree and kept away from it as much as possible to stop it becoming tame but it still did. It was full of fun and a right nuisance. Two Crows I raised started off tame and then went wild. So much the easier way around.

Don't suppose he thought you were an answer to a Jackdaw's prayer.

Who will be the first dinosaur to post a bikini clad lady with a bike?

The moderator is sat with their finger over the BAN button. 😁😁

I'm ready to use the angry emoji as appropriate.
