There's a bird loose in the house
As I was nursing Micah yesterday I heard a bird that sounded like it could be inside. The front door was open so I also knew the bird could be on our front porch; much more likely than inside. After Micah was done I went to inspect but all was quiet by this time. I shut the front door changed Micah's diaper and went into the den to sit. I had just sat and the bird started to chirp again. I knew the front door was closed so the bird had a good chance of being inside if I could hear it so well. I got up to look and saw a hummingbird fluttering around bonking his head on the ceiling. I opened the front door again, but hummingbirds it turns out are not so bright. After chasing it around climbing on couches and using a plate to try to move it out I gave up and used a big paper bag. I scooped him out and he landed on the porch window. I looked after a while and he was gone. After contemplating why a hummingbird would come inside I realized we have flowers on our porch and a bright orchid just inside our door. He must have seen the orchid and come to explore. Poor thing is probably traumatized for life.

good rescue on your part.
How funny. Poor thing might not every be the same after that trauma.
Yeah, good job on the rescue. Here we just have bugs in the house. The birds just hit our big window and fly away.
